Dallas school board reprimands Superintendent Miles

Brett Shipp:

Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles will keep his job, but he was reprimanded by the Board of Trustees on Monday night.
An external investigation determined that Miles violated policy and his contract, and on Monday night, the school board was split on what his punishment should be.

They voted 5-3 against a proposal to fire the superintendent after concluding that his transgressions fell short of that penalty, but later decided to give Miles a letter of reprimand in a 7-0 vote, with board member Carla Ranger abstaining.

Following a lengthy closed-door meeting, Miles' contract was amended to prohibit disparaging comments about the school board, bullying, abusive behavior, and the release of confidential information.

In addition, he was placed on a "90-day growth plan," although it was not immediately clear what that means.
