Report Of Legal Policy Changes From Texas Association Of School Boards Update 126
body
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide an overview of changes made to the legal framework, or legal policies, in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Policy Online.
The legal policies 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 policies 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 126 and involve 140 legal policies. All of these policy updates have been published in Policy Online.
