Houstonians against F. Mike Miles – HISD Superintendent, TEA Takeover & New Education System (NES)

Is your child enrolled in an NES or soon to be NES school? Do you just care about children’s education? Do you feel helpless? 

Welcome to the club & thank you for being here!

There are a number of ways that you can get involved in our fight against the TEA takeover of HISD and the implantation of the NES model across HISD. 
The easiest way would be to send emails to: 

-The HISD superintendent – F. Mike Miles
– The entire HISD school board (there are 9 members)
– Your specific HISD Area SuperintendentHouston City Council
– Texas State Representatives 
– The Greater Houston Partnership are just a few! 

**We are working on a PDF with all email addresses and a template for you to use.**

Please feel free to share with family & friends!

Another way to get involved would be to attend the scheduled school board meetings for HISD. You can even speak at the school board meetings as well, but you will need to register no later than 12pm the day before the meeting. 

Learn how to register to speak here.
