1.Every student in Houston deserves a solid, equitable well-rounded education. 2.Teachers need to be respected, well paid and supported by the district. 3.Accepting anonymous screenshots of anything that is contrary to 1 & 2. We must hold Miles & Co. accountable.

Phenomenal voices! Reminder @HISDSupe: Underpay/disrespect elective teachers, talented educators will leave @TeamHISD. In a few years @HSPVA will not be able to fill seats. All students deserve fine arts regardless of zip code. @photomatt @Beyonce @shondarhimes @houston_tsta

Almost a guaranteed: it will be @SHMSTC, @JackYatesHigh @scarboroughHTX
A piece of hard news from today: Three additional feeder patterns will join the NES system next school year, Supt Miles said. No final decision on which ones, but will likely include several schools that are already NES-aligned

SPED law compliance has been a major issue in HISD for years. Charters are notorious for denying sped students a seat on their campuses. Compliance is poor for those enrolled. Mixing Miles' charter ways w/ a troubled SPED office will be a nightmare parents &vulnerable children.
Changes seem to be happening at light speed in HISD. But special ed families -- who've struggled thru yrs of dysfunction -- told me they feel left in the dark. “How (do) you expect to make things better for families when you’re not including them in the process?” one said ⬇️⬇️

Meanwhile at River Oaks Elementary children are known as "vivacious readers" and get a library with more books and room to read. @HISDSupe is punishing students because of their zip code. @small_asher @sgonzalezkelly @BillBishopKHOU #seperateisnotequal @SecCardona

Principals, stock up on Post-it notes for fall! When you visit classrooms, leave a post-it note on their desk telling them how lucky their students are to have them & share something you learned or enjoyed about the visit. I call them "Post-its of Praise"

As many return back to school, here's a reminder to put: Relationships before rigor Grace before grades Kindness before content Patience before punishment Bonds before books Compassion before compliance Meaning before mandates. Education is about people first after all.
