- The recent investigative report claims Texas charters received millions in taxpayer funding, and debts for Colorado charters were being offset with money from Texas.
Guess which group NEVER gets laid off, NEVER faces a salary cut, NEVER has to worry about receiving their six-figure salaries? Hint: they are the group with the LEAST impact on education; most never even see actual students except at ceremonies.
Answer: DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION. Cuts should start at the TOP, not at the classroom level.
Administrative
This is typical of republican leadership. Gaslighting, lies and corruption is the standard operating procedure in Texas. The purpose of this grift is to destroy public schools and promote Christian country club schools by hook or by crook.
Yes i have been repeating this on twitter but these leftoids keep attacking me for making excuses for miles lol
Keep in mind here that this superintendent was put in place by the state after they "determined" that the whole Houston ISD was failing and needed to be put under direct state supervision.
This superintendent is a tool of Greg Abbott. As such, should we really be surprises that he is so corrupt?
Always the same. Always corrupt.
Please continue to follow-up on this story 😮
Please don’t stop covering this story. he’s downgrading our hardworking custodians to hourly workers w no benefits or pto/vacation. anything to save money. he’s conniving and has no intention of improving student outcomes, this is all a financial bailout venture for him
The Texas Education Commissioner knew about this, he is in cahoots with charter schools
It’s all part of Abbott’s plan to defund public schools, to implement those vouchers for Christian schools ran by his supporters. It’s shameful!!
I believe it! Maybe that’s why his CFO brought in someone he knew to be the new Treasurer. Also, paid her an outrageous salary! Treasurer use to be under the Finance Controller, CFO changed it. Treasurer is now under him. Controller use to sign off on wire transfers, checks, etc. Sounds fishy, right?
Arrest that man. Fraud!
Send money to another state, while laying off hard working teachers here.
Hoping someone gets even with this crooked little man
Are all of those firings in the last 48 hours revenge? Lest we forget the texas board of ed determines curriculum for the entire country. California comes in second. This makes sense. Whos getting the $$$ in Colorado? Smh. Smh. Smh.
He is getting the money in Colorado! They’re his charter schools from what I can tell.
Well no
California is area of Texas
Nice try though
HE NEEDS TO PAY IT ALL BACK, FROM HIS OWN POCKET, then go to jail.
The state of Texas is evil and incompetent. They PURPOSEFULLY DESTROYED HISD. Greg Abbott needs to go to jail.
Texas is a special kind of hell
I thought Gregg abbot was a good old Republican boy protecting us from the immigrants??
How is this Greg Abbott's fault?
@@vitme0090 He's fluffing up his resume.
@@jacoreywilliams5924 He appointed the people who appointed the crook.
Crooks!
TEA should be held responsible for there choice in hiring him.
His past is clearly questionable.
That is the whole game..steal public school funds to fund charters and private schools.
TEA needs to be investigated
They caught his scamming ahhhhh
He didn't even try to hide it
Each state needs go make a law that says corporations cant send their state money to other state schools. If we are going to let private business run schools and take tax dollars...lets make sure our state dollars stay on our state
Better yet let's not have a voucher program and not send tax money to private schools
Will the parents, grandparents, educators, etc get out & vote? People need to realize who is behind these shenanigans & vote them out.
We do not owe Colorado any Texas tax dollars. That’s BS.
He needs to go to prison for embezzling our tax dollars, Abbott can go with him, we want our tax money back all 11 million of it!!!!!!!
Abbott you must be a Biden voter and have no idea what the hell you’re talking about .always wanting free stuff I’m sure
Prison for him for fraud against Texas citizens!
Thank you Greg Abbott for another republican hack you bring to the table
state appointed lol good job hot wheels
If you are not happy with them go to vote all of them out of office in Nov.
Absolutely!! Say it again for the people in the back. When you sit at home on Election Day, this is what happens. Get register and VOTE people.
The same board members ran the schools into the ground to the point it needed to be taken over. Stop voting democrat.
Yes! So a new crook can take their place 😂 happens all the time no matter the party or who you vote for. It’s hard to trust anyone.
He was appointed by a state board controlled by the governor. He cannot directly be voted out
Great job on reporting. Keep the pressure on
defund bureaucrats!
In Texas, most of them are repubs.
It's not the bureaucrats, necessarily, it's the elected leaders plus the corrupt bureaucrats. Why do you think he was appointed by Abbott's people to lead Houston ISD, and at the same time Abbott is doing everything he can to not fund public schools, but to divert those funds to private schools through his, now looking like corrupted, school voucher system....
All teachers in HISD need to go to Austin, refuse to work, and never leave the capital grounds til they get it resolved. Teachers take you sick leave days off!
Houstonians will not let this story die
Why do you think Dallas ISD kicked him out. Dude is not right.
HE NEEDS TO PAY ALL THAT BACK AND JAILTIME
Time to dissolve all the ISD
Why hasnt he been arrested yet????
This was the point. Abbott knew what he was doing when he recommended this clown.
I have to give credit to Spectrum News TX and Brett Shipp for the initial report. Also, Miles pulled similar things with DISD, i'd be willing to bet he ripped them off as well..
Just plain dirty.
This Guy was in Dallas, and caused a lot of problems with his staff! He harassed, and fired them if they didn't do as he said!
He carried himself as if he was Napoleon, and as for the school district, it was reflection of himself a total mess!
This Guy should go to Federal Prison for what he has done. Currently, Superintendents' that get into trouble, pretty much get a free meal ticket by resigning, and they even get to leave with their pay, and other fringe benefits. This Clown thinks he's above the law, as well as others. The State of Texas needs to change the whole system of hiring and firing these people.
They just can’t keep their hand out of the cookie jar. Follow that money all the way back to his bank account…
WHAT IN THE EVERYLOVING LUCK !!!! Prison. Today ! Grab the pitchforks folks.
Lock him up! The budget deficit sounded crazy!!!🤔🥴🥴
I worked at a school district and the admin staff always thought they were the best and all of the, had a 6 figure salary. Yet the everyone else had nothing
Lock him up!
As well as those that put him on that position!!
I still don’t know what teaching experience he has only admin.
He did the exact same thing when he was the superintendent in Dallas ISD. He left in very mysterious circumstances and then, years later, he was hired again in Texas… I smell someone IN Texas had a deal with Mikey. But my question is …..nobody in the higher up (yes, from the governor to other officials noticed this????
The fox is in the hen house is a big understatement. The fox is in the poultry farm!
I wouldn't expect anything less from the circus that this HISD takeover has become 🤡
The Houston Chronicle reported this last year. "State-appointed superintendent Mike Miles has spoken with more than two dozen elected leaders during his time running Houston ISD, including the top officials in the state: Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, according to the district.
Miles was appointed in June to run the largest school system in Texas by Education Commissioner Mike Morath, an Abbott appointee, who imposed a state takeover on the district, as required by state law, due to long-running academic and special education failures in Houston."
Now Abbott won't call a special session to fund TX Public Schools and says that it's Dems fault because they wouldn't pass his corrupt school voucher bill which would make this kind of fraud easier to do! Paint the whole picture! Abbott is in on this!
How do you spell..”Taking from the Black districts to give to the yt ones.” lol 😂
Good grief are there ANY HONEST POLITICIANS when it comes to taxpayer money?
Well, well, well, surprise surprise surprise. No surprise.
Yes, he better pay it back out of his own pocket or sell his schools and bring that money back. I bet he gets fired and goes back to his schools looking like a hero. And we get nothing back.
how can the tax payers in Texas request a refund... sounds like its time to start sueing
I wonder if those tax payers can sue. I’m not under the HISD tax district, but I would want to sue if I was considering my taxes (especially the school tax) are so freaking high
We should stop paying taxes if the government is corrupted.
why do ISDs need superintendents? Can a superdirector of a high school do the trick?
Really?
What does this even mean?
Jail!
He look like that little weasel from Looney Toons...
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
This guy was the worst for Dallas ISD and all they do is get another job at another district WTH
What can we do vs Colorado taking our money ?
Superintendence need to be proportionately paid due to the enrollment of passing students. There’s too many of them that are getting paid for not educating.
Investigate his whole family (restitution ) prison
Stop voting for Grifters of People into office!
These lawmakers and District administrators are full of shit. Why would any taxpayer want its tax dollars redirected either in state or another state to fund private charter schools? The education portion of our property tax dollars account for 45% of taxes and that's ridiculous. To find that it’s common practice makes me sick to the core when you have school districts firing teachers and support staff.
We VOTED & ELECTED the original HISD Board and the TEA & Gov Abbot removed them- heck, many of the installed board members ran for the Board and lost against the board we voted for but the Gov installed that they removed OUR Superintendent & Board anyway. What can we do?!! They treated our Democratic Vote like it was trash & threw our wishes away!
Return our HISD elected board members, reurn that stolen money, file a lawsuit and prosecute Miles!
Lock him up !😂
I was amazed at how huge the salaries of his inner circle are.
Retired teacher from Dallas ISD Wen he was a superintendent there he is slicker than a can of oil 0:55
Privatisation that's what you get! Tax payers are still on the hook it's just that those receiving the money can do whatever they want with it one its no longer in public but private hands.
I want justice///get his smug little aaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzz😮😮
Sounds like the federal govt should come in.
Mike made his own bed, and now he has to lay in it! Make enemies the hard way and find out what happens next!
That's also why all these teachers have been let go. Abbott knows what's going on, its part of the plan.
Some superintendence heaven 400+ thousand salary plus benefits and are not having schools perform
That would be a termination offense!!
maybe just a misunderstood coincidence, or maybe not
No shortage of corruption in Houston
Are taxpayer dollars need to remain in Texas or not for any other state? Get rid of this man immediately
Public "educators" at their finest....
He was 🎉run out of Dallas. Why was he forced on Houston?😂
Hope he likes extra mayo 😂😂
Ah...isn't this what you get when you want schools to be "run like corporations" or even to be for-profit corporations?
Anyone remember what Brian Busbee did?
Former Californians now in Colorado need Texas money!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Hot wheels is too busy bussing migrants first class all over the country to pay attention to our schools. Time to vote him out!
Nothing good has come from this guy, he needs to go
he does not have the kids of hisd best intentions in mind
Thank you Governor Abbott lol
I’m guessing all the pot sales in Colorado is not paying for their school system
Lmao
Ban wheelchairs
Take everything he got and lock him up
What’s even better is I bet them city folks will still have him there for years to come 😂
The city did not elect him. The state created a bogus law that allowed state level officials to remove the officials the city elected, and then emplace their own hand picked superintendent.
Funding these DEI projects sure gets old.
Is he black?
He's mixed with AA (dad) and Japanese (mom).
Wrong black dad and Chinese mom. My bad he's a Bearsquash..
This smells like a political attack. What EXACTLY is the claim here? The company that runs the charter schools is based in Colorado, right? Do we get upset when we do business with other out of state companies that some of the money goes out of state?
I’m quite sure there are lots of the HISD and former HISD circle using this to the utmost. If this guy actually did something wrong, then replace him. Frankly, I think HISD is too big and corrupt. It ought to be broken up.
Rodney Ellis wants to crucify him without a trial
In the voice and words of Floyd Willis " it's a ⚫️ thing" he gots money at home as well in hoards. Like Fanni willis 😂
He's not Black. He's mixed with Black and Japanese. Mixed people are mixed, not 1 race.
Hello, prison!
Dirty 🐓🍭
Coruption is never singular, it takes multipul people. Follow it to who hired him, and who was involved to make to the decisions to enable him aswell...Why is it now today in this country when a scandal breaks 98% of the time it is a republican?
Miles is likely a Democrat. He is the right demographic
whatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt?????????????????????????,,,
