Miles just rolled out his fifth new spot form in two months. Now worth 18 points instead of 15 — and retroactive. Constant rule-changes don’t just punish teachers, they destabilize classrooms and harm kids.

Speak up Wed at 2 PM: Miles will brag to City Council Committee about test score“gains.” These ratings are manufactured—built on demoting and withdrawing students, shuffling them into classes that inflate ratings, not learning. Scores ≠ learning.

State test scores are up across TX, but it’s not a Texas Miracle—just Gov. Abbott trying to make the HISD takeover look good.
Twenty years ago, similar “miracle” gains in Texas and HISD were later revealed to be largely test-score manipulation, not real learning.

The governor is hijacking our schools for two more years.
They swapped out four unelected board of managers for ones
who won’t question a thing.
Kids and teachers deserve better.
Let’s not stay silent. Can you speak at the HISD board meeting on June 12th?

Miles has spent the past year bragging at the Legislature and to anyone who will listen that STAAR scores are up since the takeover—while quietly rigging the system by restricting access to rigorous courses, especially in Black and Latino communities.
