The Houston Independent School District's (HISD) School Guidelines has been compiled by the Federal and State Compliance Department to provide school personnel an easily accessible reference to policies, regulations, and laws regarding all phases of student accounting. It is designed primarily for use by principals, assistant principals, counselors, records clerks, attendance clerks, data entry personnel, and special program coordinators in dealing with students; thus, only those policies concerning students are presented in these guidelines. HISD employees should log into the portal for more information.
