Governor Abbott appointed TEA Commissioner Mike Morath, who appointed F. Mike Miles over Houston ISD.
One thing we know for sure is that all three of them made the top of Santa’s “naughty” list. In November, we have the opportunity to kick all three of them out by voting Abbott out of office ⬇️

As educators prepare to return to the classroom, we’re grateful for students like Rose who share their experiences of how the state takeover is impacting our community. @texasaft.org @aft.org
