Houston ISD's state-appointed board of managers — which includes four new appointees — voted unanimously Thursday to pass the district's $2.1 billion budget for the next school year. The budget, which is 2.5% smaller than the 2024-25 school year budget, includes boosts to several departments and programs, such as $5 million toward pre-kindergarten expansion and $13.7 million for special education teachers and teaching assistants.

Houston ISD's standardized test scores are improving and on par with statewide averages after spending years trailing behind, a feat state-appointed Superintendent Mike Miles attributed Thursday to his instructional reform program. "It's not one thing, it's a whole-scale systemic reform — we did many changes and many systemic changes all at one time," he said during a news conference. Statewide STAAR test results for grades 3-8 were released Thursday by the Texas Education Agency.

Among the Houston area's most populated school districts, many outperformed the state's average STAAR test scores — but students in Aldine, Pasadena and Spring trailed behind. The three school districts had smaller percentages of students "meet grade level" standards compared to Texas' average for high school students in almost all subjects tested: Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II and U.S. History. Pasadena ISD performed better than the state average in Algebra I.

School is out for the summer, but campuses in and around Houston will continue to serve meals to students in need.
