body
The purpose of this agenda item is to request that the Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board approves revisions to Board Policy AE(LOCAL), Educational Philosophy, to modify Superintendent Constraint 3 and add Board Constraints 1 and 2.
Board Policy BF(LOCAL), Board Policies, states, “Proposed local policies or amendments introduced and recommended to the Board at one meeting shall not be adopted until a subsequent meeting. Emergency adoption, however, may occur in one meeting if circumstances demand an immediate response.” By waiving the two readings required in BF(LOCAL), the board will make the updated version effective and available for immediate publication in the Policy Online manual.
A copy of AE(LOCAL) showing the proposed changes is attached.
