Houston Independent School District (HISD) has announced that it will not be expanding the New Education System (NES) reform program to additional schools for the upcoming 2025-26 academic year. This decision comes as the district continues to evaluate the effectiveness of the current implementation of the program in the schools already involved.
The NES reform program was designed to improve educational outcomes by introducing innovative teaching methods and enhancing student engagement. However, district officials believe that focusing on the existing schools will allow for a more thorough assessment of the program's impact and necessary adjustments. By concentrating resources and efforts on the current participating schools, HISD aims to ensure that the reforms are effectively integrated and yield positive results.
As the district moves forward, stakeholders will be closely monitoring the performance of the NES schools to determine the future of the program and whether expansion may be considered in subsequent years. The decision underscores HISD's commitment to providing quality education while carefully managing the implementation of new initiatives.
