body
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board is asked to adopt a resolution approving a legal services agreement with the firms Thompson and Horton, LLP; Eiland and Bonnin, PC; and O’Hanlon, Demerath and Castillo, PC; regarding social media multi-district litigation.
The resolution recites that the board finds that there is a need for these services, that the services cannot be provided by current HISD staff, and that obtaining the services without contingency would be cost prohibitive. The resolution also recites the qualifications of these firms to provide such services.
A copy of the above-referenced resolution is attached to this item.
