The other side
FOX 26 reached out to Jackie Anderson, President of Houston Federation of Teachers Local 2415, for reaction to the new contract. She said,
"The HFT foresaw that Mr. Miles' contract would be granted when the most outspoken members of the BOM were removed from the board. They were "finally" no longer complicit. Miles has been given a nearly 100k raise to continue decimating HISD. He and the TEA will not leave until there is nothing left. Additionally, hundreds of teachers in HISD were terminated because they did not met certification requirements. Miles is not certified and he gets a raise. It's definitely not about children. Follow the money."
