"I’m confident that under Mr. Miles’ leadership – along with the new Board of Managers which reflects HISD’s broad range of backgrounds and skills and the diversity of the residents – the focus will be on improving the educational outcomes of our HISD school children,” said Bettencourt.
Mr. Miles is the former Superintendent of Dallas Independent School District, a graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the University of California at Berkeley, and Columbia University.
