Houston ISD Faces Divided Opinions Ahead of $4.4 Billion Bond Vote

Community members express concerns over financial accountability and leadership as the bond proposal approaches Election Day.

The Houston ISD Board of Managers approved a bond oversight committee to ensure accountability if the $4.4 billion bond measure passes.
The bond proposal, the largest in Texas history, is divided into two propositions focusing on school renovations and technology upgrades.
Opposition stems from distrust in state-appointed Superintendent Mike Miles and concerns over the district's financial management.
Supporters argue the bond is crucial for improving school facilities and student success, despite political controversies.
Community groups, including the NAACP and local teachers' unions, have voiced strong opposition, while organizations like Children at Risk support the bond.
