Mike Miles (school superintendent)

[2] In his educational career he served as a superintendent for Harrison School District 2 in Colorado Springs.

[3] Miles operated an educational consulting firm called Focal Point while in that position.

The business wound down after he became Dallas ISD superintendent as his contract for DISD restricted his outside activities.

[6] Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price criticized Miles and called for his ouster.

Issues protested included a lack of autonomy with teacher observations, pushing to convert libraries into discipline areas,[16] HISD employee terminations, and accusations of misuse of funds.

[17][18] HISD has seen significant staff turnover since Miles' appointment, with more than 10,000 employees leaving as of June 2024.

[22][23] In January 2025, HISD revealed that the administration made $870 million in purchases between August 2023 and December 2024 without seeking proper board approval.
