Thursday, HISD Superintendent Mike Miles packed the board room at the Hattie Mae White administration building but not with crowds yelling for him to leave town. Just an attentive group of principals teetering on the brink of saying they too want to join a new version of his New Education System program.
Even if they'd already said they want to opt in, Miles is giving them one more chance to back out. Principals have till noon on Monday to decide to officially sign up and submit their paperwork to the central office. His determined outlook on how things ought to be was also in place when asked how the bus schedules were going to work under the new start and end times for NES schools. All NES schools will start at 8 a.m. with instruction’s end at 4 and Miles says that HISD will make it work. If so, he’ll have better luck than previous superintendents who often saw the first week of the school year filled with delays, stranded students and hundreds of complaint calls from parents.
Miles’s take on it is that several principals have come to the realization that what HISD has been doing isn’t working, isn’t helping all its students.
