Description:  Attached are the Education Service Agreements for the 2026-2027 school year between the eight Independent School Districts and Galveston County. These agreements support the continued operation of the Galveston County JJAEP (Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program) and the Transforming Lives Cooperative Day Program (TLC-Day Program).
Please note that there have been no substantive changes to the agreements compared to previous years. The only revisions made were to update the dates to reflect the new agreement term for the 2026-2027 school year.
Overview of Agreements:

• JJAEP Agreement:
  This agreement provides for the education of students expelled for mandatory offenses that occur on school grounds or at school-related events. There is no cost to your district for participation in the JJAEP.
• TLC-Day Program Agreement:
  This agreement establishes a pass-through of ADA (Average Daily Attendance) funding from each district to Dickinson ISD (DISD). DISD uses this funding to provide educational services to students assigned by the Juvenile Court to the TLC-Day Program. The County of Galveston covers all remaining program costs.

Description:  Annually, the Galveston County Extension Office asks that the Board
of Trustees at FISD and surrounding districts to adopt a resolution
recognizing county Extension agents as adjunct staff members and to
count students participating in 4-H/Extension educational activities
as "in attendance for school purposes." Though our students are
accompanied by our FHS agricultural teacher to approved sanctioned
activities away from the campus of FHS, this allows the activities to
be viewed as a day in attendance which contributes toward ADA and
allows students credit for the day. This resolution contributes toward
a growing FHS agricultural program and supports the state and local
agency. The agreement is attached for your review.

Description: 

Update 127 includes revisions to legal framework documents based in large part on changes to Administrative Code rules after the 89th Legislative Session. Changes to local policies offered for consideration address the following topics:

• Superintendent nonrenewal
• Term contracts
• Other types of contracts
• Elective instruction
• Gifted and talented students
• Prekindergarten
• Student safety
Other changes are to accommodate restructuring of codes in the DH and DP series of the manual and to delete local policies in the FO series for which District of Innovation exemptions are no longer allowed.
