Approval Of 2025-2026 District Improvement Plan
body
The District Improvement Plan (DIP) is a comprehensive document that must align with specific requirements outlined in the Texas Education Code (TEC). According to TEC §11.252(a)(1), school districts are required to develop, evaluate, and revise a DIP annually. The purpose of the DIP is to improve student performance and ensure the district meets state standards per TEC §11.252(a) and TEC §39.053.
In accordance with TEC §11.252(d), the DIP was presented to and reviewed by the District Advisory Committee (DAC) prior to submission to the Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board for approval. This process ensures that stakeholders, including teachers, administrators, parents, and community representatives, have the opportunity to provide input into the development and evaluation of district goals and strategies.
The attached DIP is based on an evaluation of student performance, including achievement indicators and other relevant measures, as well as a strategic action plan with measurable performance objectives for both the district and individual campuses (TEC §11.252). The DIP outlines the resources required to implement these strategies, along with the staff responsible for executing them. Timelines for monitoring the implementation of the strategies are clearly defined to ensure accountability and track progress over time. Lastly, the plan includes evaluation criteria to measure whether the strategies are successfully achieving the desired outcomes and improving student performance.
