Mike Miles appointed as new superintendent for Houston ISD by Texas Education Agency.

The Texas Education Agency has announced the nine-member board of managers for the Houston Independent School District and selected Mike Miles as the new superintendent on the first day of the state takeover. Miles, who previously served as superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District, will begin working on Thursday under a 21-day interim contract until he receives formal approval from the board of managers. The new board of managers will hold public board meetings and has the same legal requirements and obligations as the former elected board of trustees.
