Report Of Legal Framework Changes From Texas Association Of School Boards Update 127
body
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide an overview of changes made to legal framework documents in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Policy Online.
The legal framework documents are not approved by the board; they are developed and provided by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) based on the United States and Texas Constitutions, federal and state statutes, case law, and attorney general opinions.
TASB updates legal framework documents as needed but sometimes changes in law take effect before a policy update can be completed. In such cases, current law supersedes policy.
The most recent changes from TASB are in Update 127 and involve 50 legal framework documents. All of these updates have been published in Policy Online.
