39% support for Houston ISD's $4.4B bond proposal due to lack of trust in superintendent Mike Miles.
A Texas Federation of Teachers-backed poll has revealed that only 39% of voters in Houston ISD support the $4.4 billion bond proposal, primarily due to lack of trust in the state-appointed superintendent, Mike Miles. The poll found that 77% of voters do not trust Miles to manage HISD funds, and 58% consider him corrupt. Despite this, the bond proposal aims to enhance the district's infrastructure and would be the largest school bond in Texas history, serving over 183,000 students. Concerns have been raised about potential tax increases and the true cost of the bond.
