The plan was released on Monday afternoon and was sent to the District Advisory Committee. School officials said the draft plan is designed to support the District's progress toward Destination 2025, where every student graduates prepared to succeed in the modern workplace and world.
In a release, Houston ISD said school districts in Texas with DOI status are exempt from certain statutory requirements. This allows DOI systems to implement flexibilities that can enhance the delivery of programs and services and help improve student outcomes. The draft plan was developed by the DOI Committee with input from the School Board and District leaders and other staff.

Officials said the Committee believes it is important to ensure the HISD community understands how the plan will affect students and educators. As such, the Committee took additional steps that are not required as part of the plan. These steps included drafting—for each proposed exemption—a section outlining the rationale and benefits; specific implementation guidance to explain how the exemption would be applied in schools; and a snapshot of districts that have adopted the same exemption.
The DAC will provide feedback on the draft plan at a meeting with the DOI Committee this Wednesday, November 8. The DOI Committee will then determine whether and how to incorporate that feedback into the plan. On Friday, November 10, HISD will post the finalized draft DOI plan. The DAC is scheduled to take public comment and vote on the plan at its meeting Tuesday, November 14.
