– As part of reorganization efforts at the Houston Independent School District, superintendent Mike Miles said the district will be eliminating hundreds of central office positions.
“I know that this reorganization has been tough, we’re not done, we still have some work to do,” Miles said during a Zoom meeting Friday. Miles said the district will be eliminating between 500 and 600 positions in the chief academic office, around 30% of the workforce in the office. About 40 positions in human resources will also be eliminated.Miles said chiefs of each department started first by looking at vacancies and determining whether to fill the positions or to eliminate them.
Miles said he should have more clear numbers once the process is nearing completion on July 17. He said department chiefs have started to talk to people who will be part of the reduction in force. “What that means is that there are some positions that are still vacant and members of the department that do not receive a position can apply for those vacant positions or vacant positions in other departments or they can look for other positions in the district and some will be transferred and some will be looking for new positions outside of the district,” he said.
