Time for a deep dive on the governance of Houston Public Media, what it means for a major metro news org to be governed by the U of H board of regents, and what role the political leadership of Texas plays in decisions that trickle (or flood) down to HPM. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

The State of Texas has successfully dismantled one of the nation’s largest school districts to run an experiment. Losing this many teachers at one time is a tragedy.

.@HoustonISD lost more than 4,000 employees in June, including more than 2,400 teachers. The district lost more teachers in a single month than it typically loses in an entire year, per @HoustonChron.

CenterPoint doesn’t have to care about you. They’re a monopoly. You can’t go anywhere else. They just have to keep state officials happy to avoid accountability. You think anything is going to happen in the next legislative session?

Here’s some Houston ISD kids dismantling their own library. They might be a little young for it, but you’d like to think there’s a copy of Fahrenheit 451 in there.

Former Mike Miles defender: He can’t even read the room. “I was crushed at a recent event hosted by the Houston Landing … Miles avoided answering thoughtful questions from graduating HISD high school seniors.” houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

Elementary school parents aren’t usually rabble-rousers. We’ve got stuff to do, and we like routine. When you get this many of us yelling and picketing at this many schools, it’s time to pay attention.

HISD and its state-takeover school board just fired its janitors for next year. And guess who is out there right now, on Saturday, picking up the pieces on campus after the Houston storms?

@Chron_MattYoung Omg we had one of those things hovering around the house for days at basically eye level. They stalk. They lurk. They appear next to your bed when you wake up. It was horrifying. Why did we let it go on so long???

@LJohnsonNews887 The HISD takeover is the biggest story in Houston for the past year. Its tentacles affect everything right down to the economy. To pull the plug on this project and basically remain silent is an abdication of journalistic responsibility.

@LJohnsonNews887 It would also go a long way if, while explaining why the project was killed, HPM repeated a list all of the new info and findings that you say you've reported in the course of working on the project.

@TomWJones @Poynter I’m a former Houston Chronicle reporter. Houston Public media just pulled a major project , after promoting it to the public. It is about the state takeover of Houston ISD, arguably the biggest story in Houston for the past year. And the only explanation (1/2)
