HISD’s declining enrollment is a problem-financially and because it hasn’t been factored in on the bond. Miles thought people would flock back even had in his projections. Instead the schools suffering the greatest declines are NES schools.
The NES enrollment declines were inevitable, given an entire year of unstinting propaganda from the unions telling parents that the NES system was a form of child abuse. Now that the numbers are in and we see that children are thriving in NES, we will have to wait at least another year to see what effect those successes will have on enrollment..
I hope the unions are proud of themselves, preaching only doom and gloom, even sabotaging the much-needed bond program. But I have this question for them: why have the unions never offered their own plan for redressing the egregious inequities in student performance and outcomes in HISD? Do the unions really not have a single thought or suggestion for making things better?
Why are you letting the Harris County Republican off the hook for opposing the bond, especially given that this whole project was undertaken at behest of the Governor?
The story about the “worst” teachers leaving was a based on a single year and a lot of those that were Not Rated in the count would likely have been at or near the top of the ratings.
Anyways here’s something more longitudinal for you to consider:
Shootsey, really? Back down from a story because emerging facts are casting doubt upon it? Sometimes, I think you are rip Van Winkle and you've slept through the last 9 years.

Ah, the governor. Do you see him?
