Approval Of Entrance Requirement Change For Carnegie Vanguard High 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 Carnegie Vanguard High School, a separate and unique magnet school, the Houston Independent School District is submitting a request and analysis to change the entrance requirements of the magnet program to go into effect for the incoming 2025-2026 school year freshman class. Please see supplemental materials for full details.
