The board approved a first-reading revision to its local policy on attendance requirements for earning course credit.

What it means for you

This begins the formal process of updating the rules that determine whether HISD students have attended class enough to receive credit for a course.

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 Secretary Mendoza, voted to approve the remainder of the items on the agenda by consensus."
