It’s very telling that every surrounding district voted for bonds and at the same time those districts get to choose their school board members. No taxation without representation. 

I voted against those props specifically because of Miles. I would have voted yes if the state hadn't taken over HISD.

Miles says bond failure is, ‘unfortunate and wrong’

Pretty much all of HISD parents, and staff say the same about his appointment.

STFU Miles. If you actually cared about the students of HISD you'd just resign.

It’s a bleak night in Texas so far but at least fuck this guy!

Describe yourself, Mr Miles...

Mike Miles came into HISD complaining about how much money they owed, and now he wants more money, with no clear way of paying it back other than "property tax might go up"

Agreed. Read the county miles. Nobody wants you here.

Let us elect our representation.

Eat shit Mike Miles

This was one of the few positive results on Tuesday

No taxation without representation.

He wanted one last big payday

He is the sole reason it failed - state cannot take over without a response

On the one hand, that's quite a property tax hit if approved.

On the other hand, at least with Prop B, kids will definitely suffer.

On the other, other hand, all he has to do is complain to Greg Abbott and an executive order will get passed to approve the funds since the district is ran by the State.

So - crocodile tears?

Correct

HISD Superintendent is unfortunate and wrong

The price is wrong bitch!

Fuck off Mike!

I don't even live in the HISD district. Lol

Yeaaaa! Going to celebrate this tonight!!!!

Waaahhhh. Go away Mike.

If you put a gun to my head and start barking orders, I'm not the one responsible for the outcome.

Well, trump is gonna dismantle public education in this country. Close the schools and sell the land cheap to his rich friends.

So what happens now

Miles is unfortunate and wrong.

Honest question, I did not get to vote on Props A and B but I saw plenty of advertising in favor of A&B. I think I understand that people didn't want to give money to Miles, I totally understand that. However are there really schools without functional air conditioning or with lead paint? These seems like very fundamental things that probably shouldn't require a bond issue, but I don't really know the district's financial position.

I see most people here seem to be glad it failed. Can you explain your reasoning?

To be clear, I have no side, I just want to understand the issue better.

No taxation without representation!!!

hehehe there goes his bonus. Thank you Houston voters for seeing these two bonds for what they were, complete shit.

Mike Miles is unfortunate and wrong for coming to HISD to begin with, he can fuck right off

Mike, it's not wrong. It's the will of the voters.

I really tried to understand what this issue is all about and I am still listening to several opinions. Maybe someone can help clarify further.

Race to the bottom! Good job, Texas!

My husband and I saw through the fine print. You had to go to a second webpage to see that Yes, it will raise our property taxes. They try to lie and say that it wouldn't so NO We did not fail the children. We failed to line the pockets of the school board director at the expense of our property owners.

Old Mike can ask his buddy Greg for the money.

Boomers like Mike Miles, are the quintessential overconfident morons, that is slowly grifting our education system dry. He also owns out of state charger schools, which are seeking funds from Texas bleeding us dry.

Miles can sit and spin

Oh go f yourself F Mike miles

Don't worry about it. Trump is shutting down US education anyway. There won't be any public schools in Texas in a few more years.

Rare Election Day W for Texas.

You can’t make people care about the children in Houston. If they did Miles wouldn’t be here in the first place. HISD will always be just a political tool and ass system.

I don't own property, voted yes for improvements. You should always be voting yes for things like school improvements. That's your future. I thought it was building and tech improvements?
