Texas Watchdog: HISD's communications shop under scrutiny

Trustees question Houston ISD board leaders' TV shows, district's $10M communications budget - Mike Cronin, Texas Watchdog

Just two of Houston’s nine school board members have their own shows on the district’s television channel -- and both are trustees who have challengers at the polls this November.

Board President Paula Harris and Trustee Manuel Rodriguez, the board’s second-ranking officer, have shows airing on HISD TV, the Houston Independent School District’s channel, whose programs air via the Internet and public-access cable.

Meanwhile, three other Houston school board members said HISD staff members have ignored requests for their own shows. A fourth says he spoke with an HISD media department employee about creating programming at some schools, but the conversation went no further.

Be sure to read the entire Watchdog story.

HISD's communications shop under Terry Grier sure does seem to wind up in the news a lot.
