Houston ISD Board of Managers carried a new local board policy on artificial intelligence to a second reading on its August 13th agenda
Houston Independent School District has a proposed local board policy numbered CQD(LOCAL) covering technology resources and artificial intelligence. The item was introduced on March 20th, 2026. Its first reading sat on the June 11th, 2026 board agenda as item 42. Its second reading sat on the August 13th, 2026 agenda as item 24, in the consent section. The district's agenda system records no action, mover or vote for either reading. The August 13th minutes are still marked draft, so the record does not yet show whether the board adopted it. This is a state-appointed Board of Managers rather than an elected board, and the policy would apply to the largest school district in Texas.
How to take part
Board meetings are held at 5:00 PM in the Board Auditorium and Board Services Conference Room, and agendas, attachments and minutes are posted in the district's Legistar meeting detail pages. The draft minutes for August 13th, 2026 will show whether the policy was adopted once they are finalized.
