HOUSTON – During a tense exchange at Houston City Council, Councilmember Edward Pollard pressed Mayor John Whitmire to bring Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles before council to answer questions about the district’s plan to close 12 campuses.
Pollard argued that families in affected neighborhoods were caught off guard and that the city council, while not having authority over HISD, serves as a public forum for residents seeking answers.
