The board approved proposed revisions to board policy DEC(LOCAL), which covers employee compensation, benefits, leaves, and absences, as a first reading.

What it means for you

HISD employees' leave and absence policies may change if the revisions are ultimately adopted after the required readings.

Outcome

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