Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner believes the state takeover of Houston ISD could last for many years.
According to his post, "Based on what I am reading it seems the State intends to take over HISD for the next seven years. This raises even more questions."Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles announces family events, will share vision for HISD
This comes after what has been a very unusual start to the takeover with changes at Houston ISD meetings. One of those items is the length of time a registered speaker can address the board. In previous meetings, the time was usually two minutes, but that has been reverted down to one minute. One other noticeable change that occurred during one meeting was the amount of seating availability in the actual meeting room where the Board of Directors conducts their meeting. This occurred during their second meeting after the first meeting, which approved the appointment of F. Mike Miles to become new Superintendent of Houston ISD after being appointed by TEA Commissioner Mike Morath, following an application period.
