Shared-Decision Making Committee (SDMC)
The Heights High School - Decision Making Committee is designed to establish, monitor, and evaluate goals for budgeting, staffing, curriculum, planning, school organization, staffing patterns, and staff development. This model is aligned to state legislation and HISD board policy. The intention of the SDMC is to pull together our community in a constructive, organized, and unified body to enhance the education of all students. It meets quarterly and as needed to discuss issues brought forth by the administration, staff, parents, or community.
SDMC Elections
According to HISD Board Policy, the Head of School serves as chairperson of the committee and as a member; a co-chairperson is elected from the school professional staff. Each September an election is held by secret ballot to determine the school-based members of the SDMC. Each member serves a two-year staggered term. Schools may identify first and second runner-ups that would fill vacancies during the first nine weeks of school only. When a vacancy occurs after that time period, an election is held by secret ballot to select a new representative to complete the term.
