We're taking the fight to Austin.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Calls for Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles' resignation are growing louder amid scathing allegations.

The latest controversy surrounds a Spectrum News report that accuses Miles of funneling money to charter schools out of state. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is pledging to investigate.

TEA Commissioner Mike Morath appointed Miles to his current position.

Miles said he welcomes the investigation and hopes it results in clarity for the HISD community.

Miles forcefully denied the allegations on Wednesday, calling the report irresponsibly inaccurate.
The TEA said it would investigate the claims but also seemed to defend Miles in a lengthy statement.

"The limited information included in the news story does not in of itself constitute evidence of a misappropriation of funds," Morath wrote.
