Mayor Turner wants to know why students at certain Houston ISD schools don't deserve libraries and librarians.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner doesn't like the way the new Houston ISD superintendent does business.Telling Mike Miles that “No one can take action in this city as if you are the general and we are less than your soldiers," Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner on Monday accused the new Houston ISD superintendent of creating two different school systems: the haves and have-nots.
Representative Al Green, U.S. Rep Sheila Jackson Lee, County Commissioner Precinct 2 Adrian Garcia, council members Karla Cisneros and Robert Gallegos and other community and faith leaders joined Turner in his press conference. "I am standing firmly on that today I will not be the mayor of two cities in one and I will not be the mayor where they are creating two different school systems in the same district.
After lengthy court battles, the state of Texas took over HISD with Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath saying it had failed too many times at some of its schools. In making his case, Morath cited years of unacceptable performance at Kashmere and Wheatley high schools and what he called a violation of state and federal law regarding students with disabilities. Morath handpicked not only Miles but the entire Board of Managers, who took over from the elected board of trustees.
Miles for his part Monday repeated his earlier invitation for Turner and other leaders to see in person how classes at NES schools operate.
