Project Advisory Teams If you’re wondering how to stay informed on your school’s design and construction under the 2012 bond program, considering joining a Project Advisory Team or attending the meetings. HISD is currently setting up Project Advisory Teams for each construction project. The goal is to ensure that school and community members have the opportunity to take part in the planning and design of new schools and to monitor the progress of construction. Meeting monthly, teams consist of five to eight members, including: • The principal • Students (for middle school and high school projects) • Teachers • Parents • Community members • The architect • HISD Facility Planning, Design and Construction staff Members remain with the team for the entire project, usually two to three years. All meetings are open to the public. From the start, the PATs will be briefed on the budget, schedule and general scope of work set by the Board of Education. The teams will review educational specifications, drawings and work schedules. They will work with the architect, design and construction management staffs to ensure the projects meet their budgets throughout the design process. PATs will also help organize and participate in community meetings during the design process, which may last up to 24 months. Among their responsibilities, the teams will help select colors for flooring materials, paint for walls, colors and fabric for furnishings, and provide input about the exterior appearance of the building. Problems or concerns identified by PAT members will be immediately reported to the HISD Project Manager. As the work unfolds, the teams will participate in tours of the construction sites and get progress updates. The PATs, in turn, will help share those updates with their school communities, including neighbors, parents and businesses. HISD is committed to achieving quality work that meets the district’s standards of excellence by completing construction projects on time and within budget. The use of PATs has proven effective in ensuring that site-specific program needs are addressed and incorporated into each project. For more information on how to join a PAT or to attend a monthly meeting, please contact your school principal. Overview of 2012 Bond Program On Nov. 6, 2012, Houston voters by a margin of nearly 2-1 approved a $1.89 billion bond to replace and repair 40 schools across the district, including 29 high schools. Planning on the new and renovated campuses has already begun with design work slated to begin in 2013 and construction to begin in 2014. The entire project will be spread out over the next six to eight years to help control costs and allow the district to gradually phase in a 4.85-cent property tax rate increase over the next five years. The bond program also includes work that will benefit students across the district, including $100 million in technology upgrades, $44.7 million to replace regional field houses and improve athletic facilities, $35 million to renovate middle school restrooms and $17.3 million for safety and security improvements. Projects funded through the bond program include: New campuses for 20 high schools: Austin, Bellaire, Davis, DeBakey, Eastwood, Furr, High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, Jordan, Lamar, Lee, Madison, Milby, North Early College, Sam Houston, Sharpstown, South Early College, Sterling, Washington, Worthing and Yates Partially replacing four high schools: Waltrip, Westbury, Young Men’s College Prep Academy, Young Women’s College Prep Academy Renovating four high schools: Jones, Kashmere, Scarborough, Sharpstown International Converting five elementary schools to K-8 campuses: Garden Oaks Montessori, Mandarin Chinese Language Immersion School, Pilgrim Academy, Wharton Dual Language School, Wilson Montessori Building three new elementary campuses: Askew, Parker, and relief school on the west side Replacing/completing two middle school campuses: Grady (new addition to complete new campus), Dowling (new campus) The Board of Education has also agreed to rebuild two schools – Condit Elementary and the High School for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice – either through the sale of surplus district property or by using any potential leftover bond funds. 2012 Bond Projects • Young Mens College Preparatory Academy (YMCPA) ID: C-067 Budget: $28,675,000 Group: 1 District: II Young Mens College Preparatory Academy Description Students who attend Young Men’s College Prep experience a small and inclusive environment enriched with a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, in partnership with The College Board. The Vanguard neighborhood school has a rich Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program.

Smith Education Center, was transformed into an all-male college preparatory academy in 2011. The school serves grades 6-7 and 9-10. Subsequent grades will be added until the school serves grades 6-12. The first graduating class will walk across the stage in 2015.

The district has made the same commitment for all new schools that will be built under the 2012 bond program. HISD already has the second-largest number of LEED-registered schools across the nation, according to the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council. Building schools to high environmental standards not only saves the district money with reduced-energy usage, but the buildings and various environmentally-sound designs are being incorporated into students’ education. Letter to school administrators Will include some of this language from website: Super neighborhoods were created to encourage residents of neighboring communities to work together to identify, prioritize and address the needs and concerns of the broader community. This creates a manageable framework for community action and allows the city to provide services more efficiently. WHAT IS A SUPER NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL? Residents and stakeholders (i.e. businesses, faith institutions, schools, etc.) of each super neighborhood join ranks and form a super neighborhood council. The council serves as a forum where residents and stakeholders can discuss issues impacting their super neighborhood, reach a consensus on projects and develop a super neighborhood action plan (SNAP) for community improvements. Super neighborhood councils are one way that City Departments and City Council can work more effectively with neighborhoods, be responsive to communities, and deliver city services and needed improvements promptly and courteously.

High School Foundation – Statutory Requirements Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, a school district must ensure that each student, on entering ninth grade, indicates in writing an endorsement that the student intends to earn. A district must permit a student to choose, at any time, to earn an endorsement other than the endorsement the student previously indicated. Foundation – Statutory Requirements English Language Arts Four credits English I English II English III Advanced English Course Mathematics Three credits Algebra I Geometry Advanced Mathematics Course Science Three credits Biology IPC or Advanced Science Course Advanced Science Course Social Studies Three credits U.S. History U.S. Government (one-half credit) Economics (one-half credit) World Geography or World History or Combined World History/World Geography (course not developed yet) Physical Education One credit Languages Other Than English Two credits in the same language or Computer programming language Fine Arts One credit Electives Five credits Entering ninth-graders are now required to pass five End-of-Course (EOC) exams to graduate.

Endorsement Plans With the help of teachers, counselors, and parents, students will decide on one or more endorsement plans: These endorsements will help create a personalized learning plan in line with a student’s career interests and goals. Families will be given a school-by-school breakdown of student options well in advance, to assist them in selecting a high school endorsement and career pathway that meets the student’s career interests and post-secondary goals.
