Houston ISD says most of its principals, but less than half its teachers, view district as improving

According to the results of a "culture survey" publicized by HISD, 97% of its campus principals think the district is headed in the right direction under its state-appointed leadership, while that view is held by 39% of teachers.

Almost twice as many teachers resigned from Houston ISD so far this year compared to the last two school years

As expected, more Houston ISD teachers are resigning than normal in the wake of the state takeover and sweeping reforms. Educators blame a culture of “fear and intimidation,” while state-appointed superintendent Mike Miles has emphasized “making a choice” to be in a “high-performance culture.”
