Authorization To Negotiate, Execute, And Amend An Interlocal Agreement With The University Of Houston To Establish A Work-Study Program
body
The University of Houston (UH) participates in a federal work-study program which provides part-time employment for students requiring financial support. The Houston Independent School District (HISD) Nutrition Services department proposes hiring work-study students to assist with the Food and Agriculture Literacy (FAL) program and food service operations.
The students’ work would consist of assisting with the education of HISD students visiting the FAL Center at Mykawa Farm and at nutrition/culinary events on campuses. Students participating in the UH culinary programs would also perform their work-study employment in school kitchens preparing meals and serving students.
This agreement would allow all HISD departments to hire work-study students.
HISD Nutrition Services requests that the School Board authorizes the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend an interlocal agreement with UH which will result in hiring work-study students to be employed with HISD during school year 2024-2025.
