Summary
Board members discussed and a motion was made to submit expansion amendments to TEA to add two campuses (Pearland and Missouri City) to Harmony Public Schools Houston South; the motion was seconded during the meeting and will require TEA approval.
Harmony Public Schools staff presented a resolution to seek approval from the Texas Education Agency for two additional campuses under the Harmony Public Schools Houston South charter district.
What staff described A staff member identified as Paul (surname not provided in the transcript) said the two proposed campuses are planned for Pearland and Missouri City (referred to as "Mizzou"/"Mizzou City" in the transcript). Staff said the district is applying now and expects the campuses to open for the 2027-28 school year if approved; they noted that TEA applications can be filed up to three years before an intended opening date.
Why it matters Adding campuses expands the district footprint and will require TEA approval through an amendment process. Approval would start multi-year planning, facilities and staffing work and a timeline to open for the proposed school year.
Board action A board member moved to approve the resolution to submit expansion amendments to TEA for two additional campuses for Harmony Public Schools Houston South (CDN 101-846). Another board member seconded the motion. The transcript records the motion and second; the final roll-call vote and outcome are not shown in the provided excerpt.
Next steps If the board records formal approval in the minutes and the district proceeds with application, staff will file the expansion amendment request with TEA and follow TEA's review process.
