In a time of budget shortfalls, Houston ISD said they hope to "keep cuts as far away from the classroom as possible," according to the budget plans.
The frustration and concerns come as Superintendent Mike Miles notified hundreds of principals that they must improve to keep their jobs.
According to HISD, the district filed 791 certification waivers for the 2023-24 school year, which includes waivers for 727 teachers, 10 deans and 54 assistant principals.
A new unofficial poll found that 42 percent of HISD teachers said they would not renew their contracts for the 2024-2025 school year.
