Approval Of Proposed Revisions to Board Policy FD(LOCAL), Admissions-Second Reading
body
The purpose of this agenda item is to request that the Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board approves revisions to Board Policy FD(LOCAL), Admissions.
The revisions to FD(LOCAL) include recommendations from the Texas Association School Boards at Transition Assistance to reflect the repeal and replacement of an Administrative Code provision regarding awarding credit to a student who is homeless or in substitute care. Under the new rule, a district must adopt a policy to ensure credit has been awarded appropriately prior to enrollment. A revision at Proof of Residency removes the specific annual submission requirement and refers to this being addressed in administrative regulations.
A copy of Board Policy FD(LOCAL), Admissions, showing the proposed changes is attached.
