The Board of Managers approved the first reading of proposed revisions to the board policy on facility safety and security standards as part of a bloc vote on the consent agenda.

What it means for you

This is the first formal step toward updating the rules that govern safety and security standards for HISD facilities, which would affect students and staff in school buildings.

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 Garza Lindner, the board voted to approve the remainder of the items on the agenda by consensus."
