HOUSTON — Houston ISD on Saturday will host a virtual community meeting to discuss the district's plan for a potential $4.4 billion bond proposal and to get feedback on it.
The district said the bond would put $1.35 billion towards creating safe and healthy campuses, $1 billion towards making schools "future ready" and $2.05 towards restoring Houston ISD schools.
The meeting will be hosted by the district's Community Advisory Committee from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Click here for a link to the meeting.
The committee is co-chaired by former HISD trustee and Board President Judith Cruz, former state Rep. Garnet Coleman, and former H-E-B President Scott McClelland. For more information on the committee, click here.
The meeting comes amidst mounting calls for a federal investigation into HISD Superintendent Mike Miles over his financial dealings while heading up a charter school system in Colorado.
A Spectrum News Texas report highlighted a pair of million dollar-plus checks allegedly sent from Third Future Schools in Texas to its campuses in Colorado. The report accused Miles of sending Texas tax dollars out of state while he led the charter system.
Miles has refuted these claims.
