The Cy-Fair Independent School District (ISD) board of trustees is set to convene on October 2 for a work session and October 6 for a regular meeting, where they will review various course material recommendations and policy revisions. These discussions are part of the district’s ongoing efforts to align with state laws and address community feedback.
Agenda Highlights
Math Instructional Materials
The board will consider approving new math instructional materials for students in grades K-8 and Algebra I. These materials have been evaluated to ensure they meet educational standards and support effective teaching strategies.
Library Materials Acquisition
Trustees will review the acquisition of procured or donated library materials. A list of these materials was posted on the district’s website on September 5 for public viewing and feedback.
Policy Revisions
Several policy revisions are on the agenda, including:
-
Gender Identity and Child Abuse Definitions: In accordance with state law, the district will discuss clarifying that failing to use a child’s preferred pronoun or provide gender-affirming care does not meet the definitions of “child abuse and neglect.” Additionally, district employees will be required to report suspected abuse or neglect within 24 hours, a reduction from the previous 48-hour timeframe.
-
Required Instruction Policies: Revisions to the required instruction policies for middle and high school students will be considered, specifically pertaining to Olympic-caliber training programs.
Board Procedures and Continuing Education
Board President Scott Henry will announce the status of each trustee’s state-mandated continuing education requirements, which include training on cybersecurity, public information, and the Texas Open Meetings Act.
Meeting Details
Both meetings will begin at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Mark Henry Administration Building, located at 11440 Matzke Road, Cypress.
