Over 100 HISD Teachers Call in Sick to Protest Mike Miles' Leadership, 'Hostile' Environments

Over 100 Houston ISD teachers from at least 35 schools reportedly called in sick Thursday to "highlight ongoing concerns about hostile learning and teaching environments" created by the district's state-appointed Superintendent Mike Miles, according to protest organizers.

Thursday's action appears to be the first coordinated effort by a group of teachers to organize what amounts to a walkout, even though both of the city's teachers unions and other critics of Miles' administration have protested his leadership since he set foot in Houston last June.
