Approval Of Programming Change For Fondren Middle School
body
As per Board Policy EHBJ(LOCAL), Special Programs: Innovative and Magnet Programs, the School Board is required to approve modifications to magnet programs. The policy states, “Major modifications that substantially change a program, such as impacting funding or changing theme, require Board approval and at least one transition year for planning and communication.”
Given this policy, and at the request of Fondren Middle School, the Houston Independent School District is submitting a request and analysis to remove the magnet International Baccalaureate (IB) designation for the 2025-2026 school year given that the IB program is currently not being implemented at the school. Please see supplemental materials for full details.
