Congressman Al Green Requests Federal Investigation into Reported Diversion of Texas School Funds Founded by HISD Superintendent Mike Miles
(Houston, TX) — On Monday, May 20, 2024, Congressman Al Green penned a letter to Attorney General Merritt Garland and U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona requesting an independent federal investigation into the alleged diversion of Texas school funds, possibly to schools outside of the State of Texas founded by Houston Independent School District (HISD) Superintendent Mike Miles as reported by Spectrum News on May 14, 2024. This request aims to ensure that constituents have transparency and accountability regarding the funds used for educating our children, especially following massive budget cuts and layoffs of valuable educators and administrators in HISD.
