ON THE AGENDAHouston ISD Board of Managers · 2026-08-13

The Board is asked to authorize applying to the Texas Education Agency for a waiver of the requirement that 85 percent of prekindergarten partnership funds be passed through to partner organizations, for the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 school years.

What it means for you

If approved, the district would seek TEA permission to keep more than 15 percent of its pre-K partnership funds for its own use rather than passing the required share to partner organizations during those two school years.
