HISD holds brief public hearing on state compensatory (Comp Ed) evaluation report
Summary
A staff presentation summarized the State Compensatory Education program and a statutorily required annual evaluation report; the district posted the report on its website the week of Aug. 14, and staff said the report evaluates services for at-risk students under Texas Education Code Chapter 39, Subchapter B.
District staff held a brief public hearing at the Aug. 14 Houston ISD Board of Managers meeting to review the required annual evaluation of State Compensatory Education (Comp Ed). Justin (presentation lead) told the board the Comp Ed program is designated by Texas Education Code Chapter 39, Subchapter B, and is intended to reduce dropout rates and increase academic performance for students considered at risk.
Staff said the Comp Ed evaluation examines the district’s use of state compensatory resources and its effectiveness in supporting at-risk students and that the report was posted on the district website as of the meeting date. The presenter described the evaluation and noted the district’s obligation under state law to make the report available for public review; no public testimony specific to the Comp Ed report is recorded in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: Compensatory education funding and the district’s required evaluation are statutory responsibilities tied to services for at‑risk students. The district posted the evaluation and cited the relevant state statute during the public hearing.
