Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles is meeting with principals this week about the budgeting process for next school year. His message underscores the district’s commitment to safeguarding education, even in the face of challenges.
Miles highlighted HISD’s focus on keeping cuts as far away from the classrooms as possible and to invest in teachers and school leaders. Despite acknowledging the challenging financial landscape confronting HISD, the Superintendent is resolute in his assurance that essential educational initiatives will remain funded.
“HISD’s 2024-2025 budget will focus on boosting achievement among all students, improving underperforming schools, delivering high-quality special ed services, and preserving our unique school options,” Superintendent Miles wrote in a tweet last Wednesday.
Furthermore, the Superintendent’s pledge to continue investing in educators underscores the recognition of their invaluable contributions to the district’s mission. Amid financial pressures, HISD remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting and empowering its teaching staff, recognizing their pivotal role in shaping the future of Houston’s youth.
Through collaborative efforts and a steadfast focus on priorities, HISD is poised to navigate the financial challenges ahead while staying true to its mission of providing quality education for all.
