He鈥檚 back. Former Dallas superintendent Michael Hinojosa was unanimously named interim superintendent by the school board late Friday.
In the same session, trustees accepted Mike Miles鈥� resignation. In a mixed vote, they approved giving him a $125,000 鈥渟eparation鈥� fee plus $150,000 set aside in escrow as a bonus, had he stayed through the end of his 2017 contract.
Hinojosa last served Dallas ISD from 2005 to 2011. While here, he oversaw improved student performance, but also had to lay off hundreds of teachers after a $64 million financial mistake. In time, the budget problem was fixed.
He鈥檒l earn $25,000 a month as interim, and stay as long as the board wants and needs him. He鈥檚 vowed to continue policies and reforms put in place by Miles.
Hinojosa spoke with 四虎影院 about returning to the district.
鈥淢y role is to help the process along,鈥� Hinojosa told 四虎影院. 鈥淚 told the board I鈥檒l be here 10 days, 10 weeks, 10 months, 10 years, however long it takes to get the next person ready to go.鈥�
Listen to the conversation:
Hinojosa has lived in Dallas since returning from Cobb County Georgia last year where he was superintendent for three years. Currently, he works for the AASA, The School Superintendents Association, and the Latino Superintendent鈥檚 Association.
