Dallas Achieves leaders say Superintendent Mike Miles’ actions ‘pose serious risks’ to Dallas ISD

by Tawnell Hobbs

Reporter Rudy Bush reports on Dallas Achieves leaders who say that Superintendent Mike Miles’ actions ‘pose serious risk’ to Dallas ISD.

A three-page letter by the Dallas Achieves Commission was sent last night by co-chairs Arcilia Acosta, Pettis Norman and J. McDonald Williams. The commission was formed under former Superintendent Michael Hinojosa to reform the district. It is made up of business, community and religious leaders.

The commission leaders said that they are concerned about the processes that Miles is using in making changes. They also wrote that Miles didn’t respond to their offer to share with him successes under the Dallas Achieves effort.

“When you were appointed, we were excited about the prospect of working with you and your new team. We were disappointed that after reaching out to you to share this effort by the Dallas Achieves Commission, you were simply non-responsive. You never reached out to any of us to understand and build on the success of this monumental effort for Dallas ISD going forward,” the letter states.
