In May 2013 HISD held a job fair for NFISD employees. That month non-contract employees received notice that their jobs would end on June 30, 2013. HISD offered bonuses of $5,000 for experienced teachers who were willing to teach at former NFISD schools. Greg Groogan of "KRIV" said, "There will almost certainly be massive teacher turnover as a consequence of the merger." Jason Spencer, a spokesperson for HISD, said that ultimately 74 of about 500 NFISD teachers were rehired into HISD.
