The Houston Independent School District, the largest school district in Texas, reportedly slashed over 2300 administrative positions amid a drop in student enrollment.
According to Houston Public Media [HPM], HISD Superintendent Mike Miles on Thursday announced during a virtual forum the cut of 2,347 jobs, which is more than 20% of the district's staff.
Furthermore, Miles told HPM that "HISD’s central office has grown too much over the past decade."
The 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."
Per HPM, "Over the next two years, Miles plans to expand those controversial reforms to a total of 150 schools and to enact a district-wide, pay-for-performance model for all teachers. The changes will be expensive, and Miles said the administration will explore further cuts and possible campus closures over the coming years."

Why not 100%?Bendintheriver said:Since the rats have completely destroyed our education system, it will be interesting to watch Houston's school district. The rats completely crashed the school system there, damaged 1000's of children, some for life, and the Gov finally pulled the plug and the state took it over.
