If
you're a Dallas ISD trustee, you can do such things as hire a new
superintendent. Here, about a year
ago, trustees voted 8-0 to hire Mike
Miles. (Ben Torres/Special Contributor)
On February 18, 2013 the information under the above photo appearing on the Dallas Morning News Education Blog states "trustees voted 8-0 to hire Mike Miles." This is not the correct vote. The vote was 8-1 and I voted 'No.'
Actually I voted "No" three separate times on the evening of April 26, 2012 regarding the hiring of Superintendent Mike Miles - each time the vote was 8-1.
The minutes of the Thursday, April 26, 2012 Called Board Meeting state the following:
- "5. Discussion and Consider and Take Possible Action to Approve the Employment of F. Mike Miles as Superintendent of Schools - It was moved by Trustee Adam Medrano and seconded by Trustee Edwin Flores to Approve the Employment of F.
