District Post Office
The District Post Office, located in the Hattie Mae White Administration Building, is a full-service US mail clearinghouse. The HISD Post Office processes outgoing US mail for delivery to the United States Postal Service (USPS), and offers fulfillment, mailing list management, and mail automation services. It operates from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and processes about four million pieces of mail annually.
The HISD Post Office is equipped with desktop mailing software to conform to the mail automation (CASS Certification) and preparation requirements of the USPS. With this software, the HISD Post Office routinely performs customized mailings which qualify for the maximum automation discount rates available from the USPS.
The HISD Post Office is also equipped with inserting, tabbing, labeling, ink-jet addressing, and mail processing equipment to further automate outgoing US mail and reduce total postage costs. The mail processing equipment uses sophisticated accounting software to track US mail expenditures to facilitate accounting and billing functions necessary for serving both internal and external (non-HISD) clients. The HISD Post Office also works closely with the HISD Copy Center to take advantage of its high-speed digital copier capability to produce variable data mailings that are pre-barcoded and CASS certified to qualify for the maximum postage discounts available from the USPS.
Records Management
Records Management is a service function committed to developing and directing the districtwide records-management program, thereby protecting those district assets that are in the form of records and information. Services provided include inactive-records storage, records-retention consulting, records destruction, and conversion of records to digital or microfilm images.
