Board approves revision to Policy DH (Local) after failed amendment on social-transitioning language
Summary
After reconsidering item 9.E, the Fort Bend ISD Board approved a revision to Policy DH (Local) on April 20, 2026. An amendment to delete two sentences in the social transitioning section failed 3-4 before the policy passed 5-2.
The Fort Bend ISD Board of Trustees voted April 20 to adopt a revision to Policy DH (Local) after returning the item to the floor for reconsideration. The motion to reconsider carried 7-0; the final approval of the policy revision carried 5-2.
Board President Kristin K. Tassin presided over the reconsideration. Mrs. Angie Hanan moved to approve the policy revision and Mrs. Addie Heyliger seconded the motion. A proposed amendment by Mrs. Wierzbicki to delete the first two sentences of the social-transitioning paragraph failed on a 3-4 vote. The board then approved the original revision by a 5-2 vote, with Mrs. Wierzbicki and Ms. Afshi Charania recorded as opposing.
The policy was discussed after public commenters raised concerns about district policies and curriculum earlier in the evening; several members of the public had specifically mentioned Policy DH (Local) and the Bluebonnet math curriculum during the public comment period. The packet recorded the item as 9.E and shows the board followed standard procedures for reconsideration and amendment voting.
Board minutes show the process included a formal motion to reconsider (7-0), a motion to amend (3-4, failed), and the original motion to adopt (5-2, carried). The district did not record additional substantive changes to the policy text in the public minutes; the motion language and vote tallies are reflected in the official record.
