HISD | Policy Administration Home

Policy Administration promotes and enables informed decision making by the employees and trustees of the Houston Independent School District through the creation, documentation, maintenance, communication, and distribution of district policy, practices, administrative procedures, and board agenda items.

Standard Practice Memorandum

Standard Practice Memoranda (SPM) are a reference source for district practices and procedures that implement board policy. Each SPM provides the reader with complete coverage of a specific topic.

Board Policy

Board Policy provides broad district governance documentation and is adopted by the Houston ISD Board of Education. The Board Policy Online contains documentation divided into chapters by subject matter.

Board of Education Meeting Agendas

Policy Administration coordinates preparation of agendas for regular Board of Education meetings. A summary of each meeting agenda is published electronically and posted at the Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center 72 hours in advance of each board meeting. Hard copies may be obtained from either the Security Desk or the HISD Information Center.
