This order of election did not include polling locations because they had not yet been determined by Harris County in coordination with the district. Since August 10, 2017, the district and Harris County have finalized proposed early voting locations and a partially complete list of polling locations. The board must approve these locations as required by state law. The document amending the order of election is attached. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S):

AUTHORIZATION TO INITIATE PROCESS TO OFFSET RECAPTURE PAYMENTS AS A RESULT OF HURRICANE HARVEY

By this agenda item, the Board of Education directs and authorizes the superintendent of schools to take all necessary steps to qualify for an offset to the district’s recapture payment to the State of Texas (“state”). This offset is based on costs incurred by the district because of Hurricane Harvey. The Texas Education Code at Section 41.0931 says provides that a school district located in an area declared a disaster by the governor, and that incurs remediation costs as a result of the natural disaster, is able to offset these costs toward the district’s recapture payment for up to two yearsentitled to receive credit for these costs toward the district’s recapture payments, due to be paid to the state. In anticipation of widespread flooding and damage, Governor Abbott declared Harris County a disaster area on August 23, 2017. Specifically, the statute saysprovides: “For the two year period following the date of the governor’s initial proclamation or executive order declaring a state of disaster, the total amount required to be paid by a district for attendance credits under Section 41.093 is reduced by the amount of any disaster remediation costs that the district pays during that period and does not anticipate recovering through insurance proceeds, federal disaster relief payments, or another similar source of reimbursement.” This means that tThe Houston Independent School District (HISD) is eligible to seek offsets to its recapture payment obligation to the state based on unreimbursed costs to remediate and repair damaged facilities, equipment, and supplies. Costs related to personnel and transportation are remediation costs, as well. Money reimbursed to the district from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), insurance proceeds, and other similar sources of reimbursements paid to the district will be deducted from the district’s recapture payment during the 2018–2019 biennium. The state will include in the offset calculation, costs associated with the total rebuilding of replacing severely damaged schools in the offset calculation. In order tTo receive the offsets against recapture, the statute further requires the district to give provide to the Commissioner of Education acceptable documentation of disaster remediation costs paid by the district. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the administration to maintain all appropriate records associated with remediation efforts and to provide that information to the state. The board directs the administration to work with the Commissioner of Education, FEMA, and the insurance provider to take the necessary steps to qualify for the reduction in the district’s recapture payment.


B.7

The Commissioner of Education has discretion to allow recapture-paying school districts like HISD to replace facilities as part of the offset, or credit, against recapture. After a tour of one of the damaged campuses and a meeting with HISD representatives, the commissioner has decided to allow HISD to replace four severely damaged schools as part of the offset against recapture: Kolter Elementary School (ES), Braeburn ES, Scarborough ES, and Mitchell ES. These schools are in need of replacement, are over 50 years old, and tend to flood during storms. Replacing these four schools allows HISD to improve the elevation and drainage infrastructure to modern standards. Of note, none of HISD’s 2007 and 2012 bond schools flooded during Hurricane Harvey.

APPROVAL TO UTILIZE STATE AND INDUSTRY CERTIFYING AGENCIES FOR STUDENTS ENROLLED IN CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING FOR THE 2017–2018 AND 2018–2019 SCHOOL YEARS

This agenda item seeks approval from the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board of Education to allow students enrolled in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programming to utilize state and industry certifying agencies to gain industry and staterecognized certifications and licensures. Students enrolled in CTE programming in HISD are eligible to earn nationally and internationally recognized end-of-program certifications and licensures upon completion of course sequences. Recent changes in graduation requirements ensure that students who earn a nationally or internationally recognized end-of-program certification will also earn a Performance Acknowledgement upon graduation and a designation of such on their high-school transcript. The Texas Education Agency encourages districts to offer students the opportunity to earn any certification or licensure that adds benefit and value to a student’s postsecondary career or college readiness. The Career Readiness department in HISD has aligned district programming to ensure campus CTE course offerings are offered in coherent sequences that result in opportunities for students to earn nationally or internationally recognized end-of-program certifications and licensures that correspond with high-growth and high-wage careers. Licensure and certifying agencies or industries which support approved CTE programming are provided in the appendix attached to this document. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S):

D.3.a

The Career Readiness department employs a variety of methods for selecting and vetting certifying and licensing agencies or industries. Recommendations provided by industry partners and educators, the state of Texas, and disaggregated data obtained by the Texas Workforce Commission for the Gulf Coast regional labor market, drive the certification recommendations offered within Houston Independent School District (HISD) Career and Technical Education programming. Because these recommendations are contingent upon other factors such as the current labor market for the Gulf Coast area and industry needs, the recommended list of certifications is not always predictable. The Career Readiness department is engaged in ongoing research to identify industry and business certifications and licensures appropriate for district students.

APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER DESIGNATION AS A DISTRICT OF INNOVATION

The District of Innovation (DOI) concept, passed by the 84th session of the Texas Legislature in House Bill 1842, gives traditional independent school districts access to most of the flexibilities available to open-enrollment charter schools. The intention of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) is to explore flexibilities available through designation as a DOI regarding state requirements related to uniform start date and minimum minutes of instruction. HISD does not intend to use DOI designation to alter its site-based decision-making processes, class size and student/teacher ratio, teacher certification, teacher contracts, or teacher benefits including state minimum salary schedule, duty-free lunch, and planning periods. HISD intends to continue operating under legal requirements and local board policies regarding student discipline and appraisal systems. It is not HISD’s intention to use DOI provisions in these areas. The Houston Independent School District (HISD) HISD Board of Education’s Declaration of Beliefs and Vision is aligned to the District of Innovation concepts, as indicated below:    

Local Control—HISD can decide which flexibilities best suit its local needs; Customization—HISD can create an innovation plan for any school level, grade level, or single campus; Autonomy—the District of Innovation plan does not require approval by the commissioner of education, only notification; and Flexibility—HISD can have flexibility to implement practices that best meet the needs of its students.

Therefore, the Board of Education issues the attached resolution initiating the process to become a District of Innovation under Texas Education Code Chapter 12A. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S):

The City constructed improvements on the property including a basketball pavilion and a high-end baseball field with lights, thus providing a City park to be utilized by the community. The City has requested that the district renew this agreement for an additional five-year term. The current agreement will expire on November 15, 2017. Approval of this lease agreement would allow the community and citizens of HISD to continue to use and enjoy this City park, and would ensure that the site continues to be maintained by the City. It would also be beneficial to HISD students living in the area through continued use of the public park improvements that would be made available to them through the use of this property. The new agreement would be for a term not to exceed five years, with either party having the right to terminate without cause or for convenience with written notice not to exceed 90 days to the other party. Rental would be $1 for the entire term. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S):

AUTHORITY TO AMEND THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT CONSULTANT MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RICE AND GARDNER CONSULTANTS, INC.

Periodically, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) conducts a comprehensive facilities assessment followed by an update to that assessment a few years later. The HISD Board of Education approved a comprehensive facilities assessment in 1997 and updated that assessment in 2001. Another comprehensive assessment was performed in 2006, followed by an updated assessment in 2012. On February 12, 2015, the HISD Board of Education authorized the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend a services agreement with Rice and Gardner Consultants, Inc. (RGCI), to perform the most recent comprehensive facilities assessment. As part of the services agreement, which is set to expire on October 31, 2017, RGCI agreed to complete a new comprehensive assessment of district-owned facilities to identify the condition of major systems and materials that affect the long-term performance and viability of HISD facilities. The assessment consists of an updateable database containing the facilities condition assessment, cost estimates, recommended actions, and other essential facility information. During the term of the facilities assessment services agreement with RGCI, between August 25 and 30, 2017, several HISD schools and facilities suffered catastrophic damage due to Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath. Under the scope of work of the original agreement, RGCI began a thorough assessment of the facilities most affected by the storm. As HISD and RGCI near the end of the contract period, it is recommended that the HISD Board of Education authorizes the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate and execute an extension to amend the original facilities assessment consultant master services agreement with RGCI. Under this contract extension, in addition to ensuring to ensure there is no interruption to the services it currently provides, which now include, but are not limited to, RGCI will increase its scope of work to provide HISD assistance in assessing and restoring the damage to HISD schools and facilities caused by Hurricane Harvey. The extension of this agreement This contract amendment will enable RGCI to assess facility damage, identify work necessary to repair the damage, and develop scopes of work for repair projects.


H.2

Additionally, RGCI will ensure that all cost estimates for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding are documented and claimed in accordance with FEMA requirements. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S):

The total cost is not expected to exceed $4,000,000.

The purpose of this contract amendment is to continue to provide bus and vehicle body repair for an additional year and to add funding. The Board of Education initially approved the original project on December 11, 2014, with renewals through December, 2017. The RFP language for project 14-08-01 states the district may approve longer terms of agreement upon the mutual consent of the parties. Therefore, the extended contract term will be from December 11, 2017, through December 10, 2018. Due to the impact of Hurricane Harvey several Procurement project timelines had to be adjusted. The increase in funding is needed to cover the reminder to the current contract term and to accommodate the contract extension. The original board-approved amount was $375,000. Based on the annual expenditure of approximately $150,000 and the contract extension, an increase of $500,000 is requested to meet the demands for bus and vehicle body repair and to cover any unforeseen expenditures due to the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Therefore, the adjusted project total including the additional funding, is $875,000.

APPROVAL TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM THE RESERVE FOR INSURANCE PROGRAMS FOR HURRICANE HARVEY EXPENDITURES

The aftermath of Hurricane Harvey has impacted many Houston Independent School District (HISD) facilities, including the need to replace, repair, and replenish district property and resources. Water damage, loss of power, and the need for additional supplies have created an immediate need to secure supplies and services for the operation of our schools and other facilities. In order to get the district, and particularly its schools, up and running as quickly as possible, the district has been using 2017– 2018 regular operational funds and needs to replace those funds as well as have funds available to continue work before insurance and other reimbursements are received. The district is seeking assistance from multiple resources for reimbursement. The primary sources include, but are not limited to, district insurance policies, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), other federal and state assistance, and donations. As of June 30, 2016, the reserve for insurance programs had a balance of $25,631,589. Allocation and use of these funds will require proper documentation to be submitted by departments and schools to the Risk Management department and Budgeting and Financial Planning for review and reimbursement of eligible storm-related expenditures. These funds cannot be used for non-storm related expenditures. Costs related to Hurricane Harvey that are not reimbursable will be reviewed and considered for application under Chapter 41.0931 Disaster Remediation Costs in the Texas Education Code for reimbursement through a reduction in the district’s Chapter 41 recapture payment. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S):

The total cost is $20,000,000.

STUDENT WELFARE STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

PHILOSOPHY

FFC (LOCAL)

The Board believes in the power of every community and is determined to support every school with a comprehensive district-wide plan to connect the non-academic supports needed to improve the well-being of all students. Often called wraparound services, these non-academic supports address critical issues such as mental health and physical needs, food insecurity, lack of stable housing, violence, incarceration of a parent, legal and crisis support, and many other challenges that can have adverse effects on a student’s readiness and ability to learn. The Board operates from the basic assumption that successful wraparound service delivery comes from community residents who invest themselves, their ideas, assets, capabilities, and resources in the process. This philosophical basis incorporates the following tenets: 1. Meaningful and lasting wraparound service delivery originates with community residents, who are the best experts on how to activate change. 2. Community residents take responsibility for the wraparound services in their neighborhoods when they care about and support what they create. 3. Building and nourishing relationships is the core of building healthy and inclusive community-based wraparound service organizations. 4. Wraparound services are most successful when a community focuses on its resources, capacities, strengths, and aspirations. 5. The strength of community-based wraparound service organizations is actualized to the extent that its residents desire and are able to contribute their abilities and assets to the well-being of their community.

OPERATION

Accordingly, the Board directs the Superintendent of Schools to develop a regulation that provides a framework—including a definition, processes, and goals—for community-based wraparound services and to codify the district’s responsibilities regarding support and implementation of wraparound services. The regulation shall include methods to identify non-academic needs of students and schools, to increase access to effective services to meet students’ needs, and to set up robust governance structures. The Superintendent of Schools shall establish a team to facilitate implementation of the wraparound services framework and support community-driven sustainability.

EFFECTIVE DATE

DATE ISSUED: LDU FFC(LOCAL)-X

This policy shall be effective as of the adoption date, 2017.
