“I’m a professional public servant,” Miles said on this week’s Houston Newsmakers with Khambrel Marshall. “When the call came out, I knew this was an opportunity to serve a whole bunch of kids, many of whom are underprivileged. So, I wanted to help.” “The real question is ‘can our kids read?’ That’s the real question,” he said. “Can they do math? Are they prepared for jobs that will provide them a living wage once they graduate? Are they prepared for the year 2035?”
“We need to expand the number of pre-k seats we have but also the pre-k classrooms that we have,” he said.Also take a look for yourself at his slide presentation to the board of trustees.Cissy Segall Davis, Managing Director, Miller Outdoor Theatre
