Houston ISD students return to the classroom in 1 month, and here's what's changing

Houston ISD students return to school in one month, and some students still don't even know what time their school day will begin.

It's been a busy summer. At HISD Headquarters, 23% of positions have been cut, with 1,675 vacant positions and 672 filled jobs. But, Miles previously indicated that layoffs would be in the hundreds, not thousands. Miles has hired 845 teachers at 28 schools he has designated as high risk. Usually, teacher salaries are based solely on experience, but Miles announced that these teaches will be paid based on what grade and subject they teach. English and reading teachers in grades three through 12 will be paid nearly $20,000 more than elective teachers.
