Appointment Of A Representative To The Houston-Galveston Area Council For The Remainder Of 2026
body
In May 2025, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board approved joining the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC). As a participant, HISD is entitled to appoint a representative who will serve on the council’s General Assembly and its Board of Directors, as well as an alternate.
In December 2025, the board approved the reappointment of Michelle Cruz Arnold as the district’s representative to the H-GAC and Ric Campo as the district’s alternate for calendar year 2026.
Michelle Cruz Arnold resigned from the HISD School Board in July 2026, so the board is asked to approve Edgar Colón as the district’s representative to the H-GAC for the remainder of calendar year 2026.
