In an interview with 四虎影院, Dallas School Superintendent Mike Miles remained mum on whether he did what he鈥檚 accused of doing by a special investigator hired by the district.
The investigation found that Miles broke policy by interfering with a probe related to a district contract, and that he violated his employment contract by helping write a letter that criticized board members.
The investigation was the latest in a series of controversies for Miles and resulted in school trustees disciplining him this week.
During a lengthy conversation with 四虎影院 the superintendent declined to acknowledge whether he did anything wrong saying, 鈥淚鈥檓 not going to rehash the investigation.鈥�
He said his 90-day improvement plan required by board members will include him developing a stronger relationship with each board member so he can understand specific concerns.
When asked about being effective after three board members voted to fire him, Miles said it鈥檚 not unusual for board members to have differences of opinion with their superintendent.
In spite of disagreements last year he said the district made progress including: the board鈥檚 adoption of his principal evaluation system; gains in student achievement; improved security at schools, and strong financial management that lead to the biggest fund balance in the history of the district.
Miles, who came from a much smaller school district in Colorado Springs, Colorado, said he knew the challenges he would face when he came to Dallas, but he isn鈥檛 sure community members understood that the reforms they demanded could mean some principals and teachers would lose their jobs.
Some school employees critical of Miles have said he has a 鈥渕y-way-or-the-highway鈥� attitude and has not tried to include educators鈥� ideas for implementing reforms.
He said he鈥檚 attempted to be collaborative when possible but that some problems require fast, urgent decisions and it鈥檚 his job as the district鈥檚 leader to make them.
