HOUSTON – Houston Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles is set to recommend multiple HISD school closures at Thursday’s board meeting, KPRC 2 News has learned.
Multiple sources tell KPRC 2 News that principals were notified of possible closures this afternoon ahead of the board meeting.
Council Member Abbie Kamin and other elected officials were initially at the HISD board meeting asking for leniency for students who protested over Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions last week.
She and other elected officials were informed that there is a pending announcement from the superintendent regarding additional school closures.
“Prior to any final decisions, there must be significant public engagement from the surrounding communities, as well as the families and educators from those schools,” Council Member Abbie Kamin told KPRC 2 News.
Kamin and others tell KPRC 2 News that the names of the schools were not identified.
No board vote is expected tonight.
KPRC 2 News has reached out to HISD for comment.
