Miguel Solis is the Chief of Staff for The Commit Partnership in Dallas and a former school board president of the Dallas Independent School District. From 2009 to 2020, Miguel served Dallas ISD as a teacher, senior central staff member, and school board trustee. Along the way, he helped transform it into a national model for large urban school district improvement. His efforts included helping create a principal and teacher evaluation and merit pay system and an early education policy, both of which served as a model for Texas' historic school finance reform legislation; a state law banning the practice of out-of-school suspensions for Texas' youngest students; and passing a total of $5 billion school bonds including the largest in Texas' history.
