The Houston Independent School District reportedly cut over 2300 administrative positions amid a drop in student enrollment.
HISD Superintendent Mike Miles announced last week during a virtual meeting the largest school district in Texas was cutting 2,347 jobs, more than 20% of the staff.
“HISD’s central office has grown too much over the past decade,” Miles said. “At the same time, the student enrollment has decreased 27,000 kids. So that shows you there was bloat in central office, and we’re cutting some of that bloat.”
From Fox News:
he staff cuts will open up more funds in the budget to pay for 28 campus renovations, which HPM reported will entail "premade lesson plans for teachers, classroom cameras for disciplinary purposes and a greater emphasis on testing-based performance evaluations, among other initiatives."
