Commitments & CovenantsIn November 2002, the Dallas Independent School District Board of Trustees adopted the policy Declaration of Commitments and Covenants Prior to Release From Court Supervision AE (LOCAL). The policy stated that, at the point at which the district was released from the Tasby v. Moses desegregation order and supervision of the United States District Court the policy would go into effect. The Declaration of Commitments and Covenants enumerates thirteen commitments which state the desires of the district to maintain certain programs and policies formerly mandated by the desegregation order. On June 5, 2003, the school district was released from the desegregation order, the policy went into effect immediately, and it is subject to review to determine its further application three years from the date of the district’s release from Court supervision. Commitment number eleven of the policy states, “The General Superintendent shall be required to report to the Board of Trustees annually on these commitments and covenants." This report is submitted to satisfy the requirement of an annual report.” Consequently, the report contained herein satisfies the requirement that the general superintendent apprise the Board of Trustees on the commitments and covenants. The report is organized in two parts. Part I summarizes the status of commitments 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 while Part II gives the status of commitments number 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9 (Academic Programs). For more information: |
