The Board of Managers approved proposed changes to the district policy on student welfare related to child abuse and neglect (Policy FFG(LOCAL)), on its first reading.

What it means for you

This policy governs how HISD handles child abuse and neglect matters affecting students; the first reading means the revised policy was introduced and approved at this stage but may require further steps.

Outcome

Adopted as part of the board's consent agenda, not by individual vote: "On motion by board member Colón, with a second by board member Gore, the board voted to approve the items on the consent agenda."
