Findings Figure 1 shows the college-enrollment data as the percent of graduates. The one-year enrollment in college increased from 58.3% in 2005 to 59.6% in 2012 but has varied across time. The college enrollment increases by an average of 6.1% from the fall semester to the following spring and summer semesters. The rate of college degrees earned within six years after high school graduation increased from 26.2% for the class of 2005 to 28.1% for the class of 2007. These figures are close to 50% of the fall enrollment, specifically 51.6% of the fall enrollment for the class of 2007.

Table 1 indicates that the number of graduates enrolled in college within one year of graduation increased at a faster rate (21.2 %) compared to the rate at which the number of graduates increased (18.5%) between 2005 and 2012.

Figure 2 shows the distribution of the enrollment of graduates by college-type, i.e., by 2-year and 4-year institutions. As the number of graduates and the number enrolled in college increased from 2005 to 2012, the HISD graduates enrolled in 4-year institutions declined from 37.8% in 2005 to 36.1% in 2012, while the enrollment in 2-year institutions increased from 20.5% to 23.5% during the same period. However, the 36.1% of students attending a 4-year institution reflected an increase of 1.4 percentage points over 2011.

Figure 3 shows the distribution of the enrollment of graduates by in-state or out-of-state institutions. As the number of graduates and the number enrolled in college increased from 2005 to 2012, the HISD graduates enrolled in Texas institutions increased from 51.7% in 2005 to 52.9% in 2012, while the enrollment in out-of-state institutions peaked for the class of 2009 at 7.6% and declined to 6.7% in 2012, although there was an increase from 2011.

Administrative Response Overall, the trends reflected in the National Student Clearinghouse data are positive and speak to the districts college-bound culture and the effectiveness of its initiatives. Most noteworthy is the increase in the percentage of students enrolled in college within one year of graduating from high school. While Hispanic students experienced significant gains (3 percentage points) in college enrollment, the Hispanic population continues to be the most underrepresented group after American Indians. The percentage of economically disadvantaged students enrolling in college also increased by over 3 percentage points and the gap between economically and not economically disadvantaged students enrolling in college decreased from over 18 percentage points to less than 12 percentage points. The district is implementing several measures to ensure that more of its students enroll in college upon graduation: It is continuing to administer the PSAT to all freshmen-juniors and the SAT to all juniors in the district. Naviance is continuing to be implemented and promoted to help students create, track and reach their post-secondary goals. EMERGE is helping talented low-income students in the district access higher education opportunities at top-tier colleges. A new College Readiness course that focuses on SAT preparation and college awareness is being offered to juniors at 23 of the districts schools. The AP curriculum in several of the most common courses is being enhanced to ensure that students are receiving more rigorous instruction that will prepare them for college.

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of October 10, 2013 Office of Student Support Mark Smith, Chief Student Support Officer SUBJECT: AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT RENEWAL WITH THE HOUSTON-GALVESTON AREA COUNCIL TO RECOUP FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR CHILD-CARE SERVICES FOR CHILDREN OF ELIGIBLE TEEN PARENTS

This item seeks Board of Education authority to negotiate and execute an agreement renewal with the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) to continue providing comprehensive child-care services to teen parents in the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Under this agreement, HGAC will provide a federal dollar match for each dollar that HISD identifies and specifies is committed for use with parenting teens. HISD will demonstrate to HGAC that $486,000 of inkind personnel salaries is committed for use with teen parents. HGACs formula combines the original amount of $486,000 and a $941,455 federal share, resulting in the availability of $1,427,455 for child-care services for the 20132014 school year. On the national level, lack of child care is a major risk factor for school dropout for parenting teens. To reduce this negative impact, the Health and Medical Services Department collaborates with internal and external programs to assist pregnant and parenting students. HGAC continues to be a major partner in this effort. Due to the increasing number of teen parents in HISD, the need for child care far exceeds available funds allocated for HISD. HGACs matching funds provide valuable support for child-care needs districtwide throughout the school year. Applications for child-care services are collaboratively processed through The Workforce Solutions. Teen parents who meet eligibility criteria will receive child-care services through this initiative until the allotment for HISD has been expended. As an evaluation of the services, the Health and Medical Services Department will track the numbers of parenting teens who graduate and the number of children placed in child care. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S): In-kind personnel services totaling $486,000 will be used to generate matching funds for this program. None

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of October 10, 2013 Office of Student Support Mark Smith, Chief Student Support Officer SUBJECT: AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH REGION 4 FOR THE MULTI-TIERED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT DISTRICT-WIDE

The purpose of this agenda item is to seek approval from the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board of Education to negotiate and execute an agreement with Region 4 to assist HISD in implementing the Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) or Response to Intervention (RTI) district-wide in the efforts to support learning in all of our campuses within the next 3 to 4 years. MTSS is a term used to describe an evidence-based model of schooling that uses data-based problem-solving to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and intervention. The integrated instruction and intervention is delivered to students in varying intensities (multiple tiers) based on student need. Need-driven decisionmaking seeks to ensure that district resources reach the appropriate students at the appropriate levels to improve the performance of all students to achieve or exceed proficiency. MTSS is supported by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004. Both laws underscore the importance of providing high quality, scientifically-based instruction and interventions, and hold schools accountable for the progress of all students in terms of meeting state grade-level standards. Developing this contract with Region 4 will enable HISD to evolve from a reactive model (in which students have to seriously deteriorate before being moved to special education programs) to one that emphasizes early and high-quality research-based interventions in regular programs that generate useful data with which to make key decisions for each struggling student. The contract shall be for a period of one year from the effective date with an option for the District to renew on an annual basis thereafter for three additional oneyear terms. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S): The total cost for this service is $210,800 of which HISD will fund $90,000 and Region 4 will fund $120,800. ($90,000 SR1-13-6299-682-99-KV1-KV1) None

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of October 10, 2013 Office of Business Operations Leo Bobadilla, Chief Operating Officer SUBJECT: AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE, EXECUTE, AND AMEND ALL CONSTRUCTION MANAGER-AT-RISK CONTRACTS

Texas Government Code Chapter 2267 allows school districts to utilize construction manager at risk (CMAR) as a delivery method for construction projects. The CMAR delivery method allows a general contractor to be selected and engaged to advise on constructability, cost savings, phasing, and scheduling during the design of a project. The preconstruction services provided by the CMAR enable the project team to make timely changes as necessary in the design based on cost information from subcontractors and product manufacturers, ensuring project efficiency and effectiveness. As the design is completed, the CMAR obtains competitive bids from subcontractors for each aspect of the work and submits a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) as the proposed construction cost. During construction, the CMAR oversees the work. Texas Government Code Section 2267.253 provides the Houston Independent School District (HISD) the option to utilize a two-step selection process in choosing a CMAR firm. Step one involves an initial request for qualifications. In step two, HISD may request firms, selected solely on the basis of qualifications, to provide proposed fees and pricing. On April 11, 2013, the HISD Board of Education authorized the superintendent of schools or a designee to determine the construction delivery method for construction projects using factors approved by the HISD Board of Education, such as schedule, scope, and complexity. Following this process, the CMAR delivery method has been determined to provide the best value for the projects as listed in the attachment. Qualifications for CMAR services for selected construction projects were requested on July 27, 2013 and were received on August 22, 2013. Information received from construction firms was evaluated and ranked using HISD selection criteria approved by the HISD Board of Education on April 11, 2013, for this delivery method. Based on the qualifications the construction firms were then asked to submit fee proposals. The fee proposals were comprised of costs for preconstruction services, construction phase services fees, and general conditions costs as a percentage of the GMP.

The attachment includes the recommended best value CMAR firm for each project, and each firms Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) commitment for their services. The overall M/WBE participation for construction will be tabulated once the project is competitively bid by the CMAR. Approval of this item will authorize the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend contracts, including the acceptance of the GMP (or multiple GMPs in the case of phased work), in amounts not to exceed the overall project budget for each project. In the event that the CMAR is unable to provide a GMP proposal that is acceptable to HISD or is unable to fulfill other obligations, the superintendent of schools or a designee is authorized to terminate negotiations and/or the agreement with that firm and negotiate, execute, and amend contracts with the next-highest-ranked best value CMAR firm to obtain an acceptable GMP (or multiple GMPs in the case of phased work), in amounts not to exceed the overall project budget for each project.

The HISD Board of Education approved the award of a design contract for the renovation at Southmayd Elementary School on April 9, 2009. At its August 27, 2009, board meeting, the HISD Board of Education approved $13.5 million to be allocated to additional facility projects in each of the nine trustee districts, for a total of $121.5 million. On October 8, 2009, the HISD Board of Education approved a budget of $6 million from District III allocations for additional renovation and expansion of Southmayd Elementary School. On May 20, 2010, the HISD Board of Education authorized the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend a construction manager-atrisk (CMAR) contract with Morganti Texas, Inc. On December 8, 2011, the HISD Board of Education approved award of a CMAR contract to Morganti Texas, Inc., for the renovation/addition of Joanna Southmayd Elementary School. On March 8, 2012, the HISD Board of Education approved the award of the remaining design contract work because the prior architect was terminated due to breach of contract by bankruptcy. On June 13, 2013, the HISD Board of Education approved an increase to the construction contingency and design contingency allowances. Since that approval, there have been urgent requirements that need to be addressed, including kitchen upgrades required by the city health department, additional egress lighting and mechanical duct work required by the City of Houston, replacement of deteriorated water and sanitary sewer lines, and additional mill work. A design allowance increase is required to complete this work. Page 1 of 2

Office of Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Meeting of October 10, 2013 Office of Business Operations Leo Bobadilla, Chief Operating Officer SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE EIGHTH CONTRACT AMENDMENT TO THE SPARK PARK AGREEMENT

Former Houston City Council Member Eleanor Tinsley founded the School Park (SPARK) Program in 1983. The SPARK Program has united the efforts of the City of Houston, Harris County, the Houston Independent School District (HISD), parentteacher groups, and the community to improve and operate portions of HISD school playgrounds as public parks and recreation facilities. Participating schools raise $5,000 and HISD supports the program by contributing $5,000 towards the construction of each park. In designated communities, the City of Houston makes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds available for SPARK construction. The original SPARK agreement between the City of Houston, HISD, and SPARK, a Texas non-profit corporation, was executed in 1986 and expired in 2006. A new SPARK agreement was entered into by the parties the same year to continue the program. Approval is being requested for this proposed eighth amendment to the SPARK Park Agreement to add a sum of $301,500 that will be made available to reimburse HISD for improvements at three HISD schools. This amendment will extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2014. The following schools selected by SPARK are to receive CDBG funding: Piney Point Elementary School Judson Robinson Elementary School Carter Woodson Leadership Academy. The total cost for this program is $301,500 and will be funded by community development funds (GF1-00-1290). None

The Houston Independent School Districts (HISD) 2012 Facilities Capital Program was approved by voters on November 6, 2012. A request for qualifications for architectural-engineering services was issued on December 3, 2012. HISD received 85 statements of qualifications (SOQ) from design firms on January 15, 2013. To assist the HISD selection committee, an Architectural Advisory Committee comprised of professors from the University of Houston, Rice University, and Prairie View A&M University Schools of Architecture was assembled to offer its expertise in the area of 21st century school design. In addition to the Advisory Committee input, stakeholders from the campus were invited to attend a second round of Architectural/Engineering presentations. The list of the most highly qualified firm for the High School for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice (HSLECJ) project is attached. In accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2254, and in consultation with legal counsel, the design firm selection followed a formal qualification review process. The HISD selection committee conducted an initial review of all submitted SOQs and various firms were invited to provide oral presentations. All firms, including firms not invited to provide oral presentations, will remain under consideration for other 2012 Bond projects. The ability to move forward with design efforts is subject to HISD Board of Education approval of the sale of the current school site, approval of an alternate school site, and funding allocation for the project. Approval of this board item will authorize the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend contracts at a fair and reasonable fee not to exceed seven percent of the construction costs, plus a 10 percent contingency of the negotiated design fee and the actual cost of necessary consultants not included in the fee for basic design services, such as surveying, geotechnical

Furthermore, approval of this item will authorize the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend contracts with the next most highly qualified firm for this project should negotiations with the most highly qualified firm be unsuccessful. COST/FUNDING SOURCE(S): The cost for the recommended actions will be funded by the sale of the current school site.

The Houston Independent School District (HISD) 2007 bond election approved the renovation of John Codwell Elementary School. The HISD Board of Education approved the award of a design contract for the renovations for Codwell Elementary School on March 8, 2012. The scope-to-budget verification revealed that some conditions were more severe than noted in the 2007 Facilities Assessment (Magellan Report). During the initial project walk-through of the building, the existing foundation in three classroom wings were identified by the Architect/Engineer team as having foundation issues in need of repairs/replacement. These foundation issues are causing the floors to shift, resulting in cracks on walls and ceilings and will inevitably cause the floor to sink. Due to these severe needs, an incremental increase to the construction budget, construction contingency allowance, and design contingency allowance by an amount not to exceed $963,000 is requested. Approval will authorize the superintendent of schools or a designee to negotiate, execute, and amend all necessary contracts to implement the work. The requested increase is as follows: Requested Increase to Design Contingency Allowance $63,000 Requested Increase to Construction Budget $900,000

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.
