The Houston Independent School District aims to equitably educate the whole child so that every student graduates with the tools to reach their full potential.

The 2021-2022 Capital Planning Steering Committee will play a critical, strategic role in helping the district accomplish its goals by developing a plan to ensure all students have equitable access to modern, innovative, and safe learning spaces that help them grow and thrive.

The steering committee — an independent citizens committee made up of community members — will be tasked with providing strategic direction, feedback, and guidance to the district as it prepares to address needs identified in the 2021 facilities assessment.

The committee is composed of 22 members, including building and construction professionals, community members and active HISD parents. Committee members are not compensated for their service to HISD, nor are they permitted to have active or pending contracts with the district. Appointments will last for one year — or the duration of the 2021-2022 Capital Planning Steering Process.
