Statement Attributable to Bob Harvey, President and CEO, Greater Houston Partnership
The Partnership applauds HISD’s decision to initiate the process to join the other 965 out of 1,019 districts across the state to enjoy District of Innovation status. This move would give more flexibility to the district and allow it to tailor its services to the unique needs of our student population. The Houston business community is committed to the vision of HISD providing a quality education to the children in every neighborhood and fully supports the superintendent and board as they work to ensure the children of today are ready to join the workforce of tomorrow.
