Houston Federation of Teachers say they will file a lawsuit against Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles and the Board of Managers.On Wednesday, the Houston Federation of Teachers filed a lawsuit against Houston ISD Superintendent Miles Miles and the district’s state-appointed Board of Managers, claiming that Miles’s new teacher evaluations violate the Texas Education Code.
“They took away from the committees and allowed Mike Miles to develop his own system in secret,” he said. Before the Texas Education Agency took over the district, teachers were evaluated under the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System or T-TESS. The union had planned a press conference on Thursday to discuss the lawsuit but announced that they were postponing the event due to a delay in court proceedings."Superintendent Miles has grossly and illegally expanded both his power and that of the appointed school board. He is refusing to follow the law by shutting out the voices of teachers, parents, students and other community members and punishing educators in the name of streamlining the district.
