Houston ISD holds virtual community meeting on bond proposal

HOUSTON — Houston ISD will host a virtual community meeting Saturday 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 dedicate $1.35 billion to creating safe and healthy campuses, $1 billion to preparing schools for the future and $2.05 to 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 Representative Garnet Coleman and former HEB President Scott McClelland. For more information about the committee, click here.

A report from Spectrum News Texas highlighted two checks for more than $1 million that were allegedly sent from Third Future Schools of Texas to its Colorado campuses. The report accused Miles of sending Texas taxpayer dollars out of state while he ran the charter system.

Miles has refuted these claims.
