EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose

ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSE
As a response to the Office of Civil Rights end of school year reporting instruments, Houston ISD has added a new feature to the Student Information System/Chancery that will more accurately track and capture data concerning allegations of bullying at the campus level. School staff will have the responsibility to post data concerning any allegation of bullying reported to campus personnel. The categories include bullying based on sexual orientation, race, nationality, origin, and disability. Training on this tool will be included in the districtwide PEIMS Discipline Training scheduled for the beginning of October 2013. In addition to the new reporting feature in Chancery, HISD has taken the following proactive prevention actions regarding bullying during the 20122013 and 20132014 school years: Mandatory principal-led faculty training on anti-bullying prevention and proper campus interventions. Additional teacher on-line modules to facilitate the deep understanding of the different types of bullying (physical, emotional, cyber) and techniques to curtail campus bullying incidents. The Elementary Counseling and Guidance Department provides additional campus face-to-face trainings as requested and distributes conflict resolution and anti-bullying student materials to schools. During the first week in February, the district hosts an anti-bullying week where several community professionals are made available to provide campus assemblies regarding bullying prevention. In addition, schools are provided a list of fun activities to implement that have proven to be effective in the prevention of bullying issues on campus. In response to supporting teachers in the area of classroom management, Professional Support and Development implemented the following training activities during the 20122013 school year: I-9 and I-10 (Classroom Management and Classroom Culture) Video Exemplars and Effective Practices that provided teachers with an opportunity to watch highly effective teachers in action, I-9 and I-10 (Classroom Management and Classroom Culture) Effective Practices that provided teachers with step-by-step instructions on how to implement best practices demonstrated in the Video Exemplars, Ongoing job-embedded support provided by Teacher Development Specialists at the campus level, Classroom Management and Culture Institute (New Teachers), New Teacher Academy guest speaker- Rick Smith sharing best practices from his book Conscious Classroom Management: Unlocking the Secrets of Great Teaching, Saturday Touch Point sessions that focused on positive behavioral interventions and supports, and Development of the bullying awareness course that provided teachers with a blended learning experience (90-minute session facilitated by campus leaders and a six-hour online course). In moving forward, Professional Support and Development will be taking an active role in the Multi-Tiered Support Systems (MTSS) Initiative during the 20132014 school year. MTSS is a systemic intervention model for both behavior and academics targeting those students most at risk. MTSS is designed to provide access to early intervention, early identification, and improved academic and behavior outcomes. The school offices are also taking actions to address discipline incidents in the schools. Elementary School Offices: The elementary school offices will continue to monitor campus discipline to ensure the number of incidents will continue to decline.
Page 3 of 5
Bully Awareness training for staff members will continue to ensure early detection of problems will occur. The MTSS for early intervention of students is in place. Elementary Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) students will be monitored upon return to their home campus to ensure a positive transition will occur.
Middle School Office: The findings and data presented in this report reflect district and school office efforts during the 2012 2013 school year to build the skills and capacity of district and school-based leadership teams to implement a system of positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) for students through training, coaching, and technical assistance. These efforts included: Mandatory, principal-led, anti-bullying awareness training for school administrators and instructional staff in identifying and responding to bullying incidents, Implementation of the Secondary Schools Offenses and Maximum Consequences guidelines to assist school leaders in determining responses to the most common discipline incidents, School Office review and approval of all Level III and IV discretionary DAEP referrals. School Office participation in the PBIS Working Group, Implementation of Teach Like a Champion and Envoy classroom management techniques in pilot schools, CSO-led student discipline discussions and data reviews during monthly district principals meetings, Observation visits by School Office and Student Support Services staff at schools with safety and discipline issues, and Review of intervention assistance team procedures with school leadership teams. In the 20132014 school year, the middle schools will continue supporting the implementation of a proactive system of behavior interventions and supports. Additional actions in addition to those mentioned above include: Training of school-based staffs on the new mandatory Chancery reporting requirements for all allegations of bullying. Staffs will also attend special trainings on the proper documentation of bullying to be conducted by Federal and State Compliance. Participation in the MTSS initiative. Six middle schools with school safety and student discipline issues have been selected for participation. Expansion of the Teach Like a Champion program of classroom management techniques to 11 middle schools that include eight new schools. Initial principal training with Doug Lemov is scheduled for September. Expansion of Envoy classroom management program. Seven schools have been identified to receive training and coaching for selected teacher leaders along with leadership training for school administrators. Implementation of a restoration model for students referred to the DAEP that will include transition meetings between Beechnut Academy student support specialists, home school representatives, and parents/guardians to successfully transition students back to their home school setting. The expected outcome is a reduction in repeat referrals.
Page 4 of 5
High School Office: The High School Office will continue to work with schools to reduce discipline incidents and reduce the number of referrals to the DAEP, while ensuring that schools remain safe and friendly environments for learning. While the number of Level IV incidents fell significantly across high schools last year, a number of schools saw increases in the numbers of Level III offenses. In part this was due to more rigorous and equitable attention to discipline and in part to the reduction of the use of the DAEP. The High School Office will work with these schools to help them analyze and understand how to address trends.

The purpose of this agenda item is to seek approval from the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board of Education to negotiate and execute agreement renewals with four federally-funded Head Start agencies to create effective prekindergarten collaboratives. HISD has had partnerships with these agencies for more than 11 years. The agencies serve regional sectors of Harris County within District boundaries, partnering with 32 HISD schools. Within the schools, the HISD and Head Start teachers collaborate and deliver instruction to dually enrolled students in 110 prekindergarten classrooms, with approximately a 7:1 student-teacher ratio for each participating classroom. The Head Start agencies offer comprehensive services (i.e., medical, dental, nutritional, and psychological) to eligible children at the designated schools; offer classes for parents; furnish the classrooms in the collaboratives with appropriate furniture, materials, supplies, and playground equipment if needed; provide teachers, teacher aides, materials, copying, and supplies; and cover indirect costs with in-kind funds. The collaboratives, while adhering to Head Start performance standards, will provide an appropriate program supported by and correlated to the HISD prekindergarten district curriculum, standards in Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs, Revised Edition (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 2008), and the Texas Education Agencys prekindergarten guidelines. They will be evaluated by tracking prekindergarten students from Head Start classes to kindergarten and analyzing their performance on the Istation Indicators of Progress for Reading, Stanford, and/or Aprenda. Preparing at-risk prekindergarten children cognitively, socially, and emotionally for kindergarten by lowering student-teacher ratios, resulting in more individualized instruction for students, has shown positive results. The 20122013 HISD Head Start Collaborative Partnership Prekindergarten Education Program evaluation conducted by the HISD Research Department indicates HISD prekindergarten and Head Start programs are closing the achievement gap in kindergarten.

Senate Bill 1 provides a process by which schools may request waivers from local Board of Education policies, State Board of Education rules, or Texas Education Code requirements that inhibit them from making progress in restructuring schools and from improving student achievement; these waivers must be cost-neutral. The schools faculties reviewed and voted upon the waivers prior to submission; a twothirds affirmative faculty vote was necessary for schools to submit a waiver request to the committee for consideration. The principal and a shared decision-making committee representative signed each waiver request to affirm faculty agreement. In August 2013, the above-named schools submitted their waiver requests to the Office of School Support for review by the Waiver Oversight Committee. The waivers were then forwarded to the designated Chief School Officer for final approval. The waiver documents are on file in Board Services.

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of September 12, 2013 Office of Human Resources Rodney Watson, Chief Human Resources Officer SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF INCENTIVE PAYMENT MODEL FOR SCHOOL FELLOWS FOR THE 20132014 SCHOOL YEAR Beginning with the 20102011 school year, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) designated campuses for the Apollo Program. The program provides these campuses a number of distinct services to improve student performance, including tutoring for students in math. School fellows were hired to conduct this tutoring in the different campuses participating in the program. Incentive payments for employees hired specifically for tutoring assists in meeting the research-driven tenets of this program, aimed at turning around our lowest-performing schools. For the 20132014 school year, the district proposes to expand the incentive payment model to include priority schools. The program will still include an Attendance Incentive Payment and a Student Performance Incentive Payment. The total projected cost of the program is approximately $1.7 million (i.e., the number of positions established, 331, multiplied by the budgeted incentive payment per tutor, $5,000), plus fringe benefits.
The total cost for this program will not exceed $1.7 million, plus fringe. The funding for this program will come from General Funds (GF1-6127-XXX-XX-139139). None This agenda item supports HISD Goal 1: Increase Student Achievement, HISD Goal 2: Improve Human Capital, HISD Goal 5: Improve Public Support and Confidence in Schools, and HISD Goal 6: Create a Positive District Culture.

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of September 12, 2013 Office of Human Resources Rodney Watson, Chief Human Resources Officer SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE PAY PROGRAM FOR SECONDARY READING INITIATIVE FOR THE 20132014 SCHOOL YEAR On May 10, 2012, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board of Education approved a proposed budget amendment that included the creation of a Secondary Reading Initiative (SRI) to target students in the sixth and ninth grades who are reading below the 50th percentile as measured by the Stanford Achievement Test. The district proposed to have certified teachers on each campus provide supplemental reading classes to these students, beginning with the 20122013 school year. For the 20132014 school year, the district proposes to continue the program and expand the services to include seventh-grade students. To be eligible for the SRI Performance Pay Program, teachers must have taught one or more of the designated reading intervention classes as defined by the HISD Literacy Initiative Plan for at least one full semester to grade six, seven, or nine students during the 20132014 school year. These teachers remain eligible to also receive ASPIRE Awards, provided they meet program and eligibility requirements for that program. The total cost for this program is based on paying up to $3,000 stipends to teachers who complete all of the required professional development and on paying a maximum performance incentive per teacher of $7,000 to those with outstanding performance, plus fringe benefits. The SRI Performance Pay award is scheduled to be paid out by January 2015.
The total cost for this program will not exceed $2.25 million, plus fringe. The funding for this program will come from General Funds (GF1-XX-61XX-XXX-10930-930). None This agenda item supports HISD Goal 1: Increase Student Achievement, HISD Goal 2: Improve Human Capital, HISD Goal 5:

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of September 12, 2013 Office of Business Operations Leo Bobadilla, Chief Operating Officer SUBJECT: AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE, EXECUTE, AND AMEND ALL NECESSARY CONTRACTS RELATED TO THE DEMOLITION OF THE DELMAR FIELDHOUSE FACILITY
Delmar Fieldhouse was constructed in 1958 and is located within the Houston Independent School Districts (HISD) Delmar-Tusa Athletic Complex at 2020 Mangum Road in Houston, Texas. Due to the rapidly deteriorating condition of the facility, the administration elected to replace this facility as a part of the 2012 Bond. The new facility will be constructed on the existing site. Given the condition of the building, and in consultation with the Athletics Department, the recommendation from staff members is that the demolition work begin early while design for the new facility is underway. This will allow construction of the new facility to proceed when ready on a site that has already been cleared of the existing facility. The administration will use the Mark Anthony Pavilion located on the Forest Brook Middle School Campus at 7525 Tidwell Road, Houston, Texas to host many, if not all, the events previously scheduled for the Delmar Fieldhouse. Staff members will need to contract with job order contractors (JOC) and annual vendors to assist with the demolition and other related work. It is recommended that the HISD Board of Education authorize the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend all necessary contracts to implement the work, including contracts for the utilization of JOCs/annual vendors. It is also requested that the cap limits for JOCs/annual vendors be waived for this work. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S): The total cost of the budget shall not exceed $2,000,000 and will be funded by 2007 Bond Funds (CP1 81-6620-660-99-005-817). None

HISD requests authority to amend its contract with The San Diego State University Research Foundation, aka The National Center for Urban School Transformation (NCUST), for the 20132014 school year. NCUST is a private, not-for-profit organization. The district originally entered a three-year contract with NCUST for on-site educational services that would improve its schools rated academically unacceptable by the Texas Education Agency. This proposed contract amendment authorizes and memorializes the third year of services (the Third Renewal Year) incumbent in the original contract executed by HISD and NCUST on March 1, 2011. NCUST proposes to build upon its previous work with HISD leaders to improve the rigor of curricula, the effectiveness of instruction, the quality of the teaching/learning climate, the efficiency of organization, and the impact of leadership. The proposed amendment for the 20132014 school year incorporates additional services that will build the capacity of School Support Officers (SSOs) to generate substantial improvements in academic results, particularly in those schools rated academically unacceptable. Those services include: Establishing systems to monitor and support school improvement (using a model similar to Providers Advancing Principal Leadership in Urban Schools); Increasing the amount of time NCUSTs executive coaches spend in direct support of SSOs; Providing individualized and network-level assistance to principals based on identified needs; and Offering district leaders the opportunity to participate in the National Symposium on High-Performing Urban Schools.

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of September 12, 2013 Office of Chief Financial Officer Kenneth Huewitt, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION FOR RESALE OF PROPERTIES STRUCK OFF TO THE FORMER NORTH FOREST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT THROUGH TAX FORECLOSURE PER TEXAS TAX CODE SECTION 34.05
The Texas Property Tax Code provides when a judgment for delinquent taxes on a property has been entered, a taxing unit can foreclose its tax liens by and through a foreclosure sale at the county courthouse. When foreclosed properties are not sold at the initial sale, they are struck off to the taxing entity and are put up for resale at a later date by the constable. North Forest Independent School District (NFISD) had previously foreclosed on approximately seventy-one properties which were then put up for sale by the constable, but did not have any bidders and were struck off to NFISD. As a result of the annexation of NFISD to Houston Independent School District (HISD), those properties will now have to be disposed of by HISD. The Property Tax Code provides that a taxing entity may by resolution authorize the resale of any such struck-off properties. In 1996, the HISD Board of Education approved a resolution for resale of properties struck off to HISD. Additionally, in 2000, the Board approved an additional resolution for resale of properties struck off to Harris County in connection with the current inter-local foreclosure sale agreement between HISD, Harris County, and the City of Houston. However, since prior resolutions do not address properties struck off to a taxing unit subsequently annexed to HISD, HISD will need to approve a new blanket resolution to allow the constables to resell the properties struck off to the former NFISD. Approval of this blanket resolution will allow these properties to be put up for resale and returned to the tax roll. A resolution authorizing the District to resell property that has been struck off in the name of the former North Forest ISD is on file in Board Services. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S): STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: None None

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of September 12, 2013 Office of Chief Financial Officer Kenneth Huewitt, Chief Financial Officer Subject: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH MILLETT DUTY FREE, INC., FOR FOREIGN TRADE ZONE STATUS AND PAYMENT OF TAXES
Millett Duty Free, Inc. has asked the Port of Houston Authority to approve a foreign trade subzone for that companys property in the eastern part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). In order for such subzone status to be granted, the Port of Houston Authority requires that governmental entities submit a letter of approval for the subzone status. The effect of foreign trade subzone status is a federal exemption for local property taxes on inventory and certain other personal property in the subzone. Millett Duty Free, Inc., has agreed to pay HISD the money which HISD would otherwise have collected through local property taxes in consideration for HISDs approval of the foreign subzone status. This will allow the company to realize certain federal tax customs and duties benefits by virtue of subzone status and still allow HISD to be paid the ad valorem taxes which would be otherwise exempt from property taxation. Harris County, which is affected by the subzone status, has approved an agreement with Millett Duty Free, Inc. It is anticipated that the City of Houston will also approve an agreement with Millett Duty Free, Inc., and HISDs approval would allow the company to move forward with its subzone request. A resolution authorizing HISD to move forward with discussions with Millett Duty Free, Inc., regarding the submission of a letter of non-objection to the Port of Houston Authority conditioned upon Millett Duty Free, Inc., entering into a satisfactory agreement with HISD for ad valorem taxes on inventory and certain other personal property in the subzone is included as an attachment and is on file in Board Services. A draft of the agreement will also be placed on file in Board Services subject to minor modifications based on final negotiations with Millett Duty Free, Inc.

PREAMBLE: TRANSFORMATION OF TEACHER APPRAISALS
The Districts primary goal is to improve student achievement, and the District believes its greatest strength in reaching this goal is its human capital. Since the single most important exchange within the District is that which occurs between teachers and students every day, it is the Districts collective vision to ensure that every student is taught by an effective teacher, every day. To continuously improve and strengthen the Districts teacher workforce over time, the District has undertaken an effort to transform its performance evaluation system of teachers to ensure that each teacher receives the feedback and support to improve teaching and student learning. Change is essential if we are to make our childrens education our very highest priority. By building a new teacher appraisal and development system, the District will be able to identify and set clear expectations for teacher performance, differentiate teacher performance and professional development and other supports, and recognize and reward the Districts most effective teachers. Implementing a high-quality teacher appraisal and development system will serve as a catalyst for the District becoming the best school district in the country. We alone cannot affect school transformation; and we alone cannot simply demand it. It must include and involve all levels of the organization and the community. To design the new teacher appraisal and development system, the District community has been involved, starting with school Shared Decision-Making Committees (SDMC) and the District Advisory Committee (DAC), along with thousands of teachers and other community members. Together, the community has worked to identify a new path to drive continuous improvement in teacher performance and most importantly, to ensure improved learning outcomes for every student in the District.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Through surveys conducted in spring 2010, teachers and principals predominately stated that the state-issued Professional Development and Appraisal System (PDAS) and the locally adopted Modified Professional Development and Appraisal System (MPDAS) did not provide teachers with the feedback or individualized development support needed to improve student achievement and to do their best work in the classroom. In response to these findings and as part of the Districts Strategic Direction adopted by the Board of Education in August 2010, the District launched the Effective Teachers Initiative designed to ensure that there is an effective teacher in every classroom. This initiative is based upon four key strategies, two of which are centered upon building a useful appraisal system and providing teachers with the individualized professional development they need to be successful in the classroom. 1 of 5

DEFINITION
There are two types of charter schools recognized by the Texas Education Agency (TEA): open-enrollment and district charter schools. a. Open-enrollment charter schools are autonomous public schools whose charters are granted by and report directly to the TEA. Open-enrollment charter schools operate outside the jurisdiction of a local school district and are not regulated as traditional public schools. District charter schools are approved by the District Board of Education and operate within the jurisdiction of the District. District charter schools are not regulated as traditional District public schools but must maintain a relationship to the District.
OPEN-ENROLLMENT CHARTER SCHOOLS
DISTRICT CHARTER SCHOOLS
b.
There are three[LH1] types of District charter schools. These are campus charter schools, cooperative program charter schools, and contract charter schools.
CAMPUS CHARTER SCHOOLS
(1)
A District campus charter school [LH2]is one in which the Superintendent or his designee petitions the Board of Education to convert the lowest performance campus(es) to become a district charter school. A District Charter School will operate under the laws and rules of an open-enrollment charter school. (Charter School Bill: SB 2). A District cooperative program charter school is one that permanently operates on two or more campuses in the District. The petition submitted to the Board of Education must be signed by the parents of a majority of the students at each school and the majority of the classroom teachers at each school. A District contract charter school is one in which the District contracts with a public or private entity to provide educational services to its student population. The terms of the charter schools contract with the District will specify every aspect of school guidelines that is to be followed. The contract between the District and the charter school will be reviewed annually. Teachers at contract charter schools are employees of the contracting entity not HISD and are not eligible for the Texas Teacher Retirement System.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM CHARTER SCHOOLS[LH3]
