House is expected to be named superintendent of the Prince George's County Public Schools system on Wednesday,The Prince George's County Public Schools system covers Maryland's second-largest county, just east of Washington D.C., with a population of nearly 1 million people and a public school district that serves over 131,000 students. House will be tasked with turning around some of the lowest-performing schools in the state, 7News reported.
House could not be reached for comment Wednesday, and the Prince George's County Public Schools did not return a request for comment. House's roughly two-year tenure in Houston ended last week when the Texas Education Agency officially took over HISD and appointed Mike Miles as superintendent. House was praised by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and teachers union president Jackie Anderson for his leadership, under which about 40 schools were lifted from failing grades.
House"shepherded the district in difficult times. I want to thank him and apologize to him for how the State treated him," Turner tweeted ahead of the takeover.
