Shared-Decision Making Committee (SDMC)
The SDMC (Shared Decision‑Making Committee) in HISD plays a vital role at each campus. It’s a collaborative advisory group—composed of the principal, teachers, non‑instructional staff, parents, community and business members—that:
-
Reviews and sets academic goals, budgets, staffing, curriculum, and school-wide planning
-
Monitors implementation of the School Improvement Plan and approves professional development for staff
-
Uses a consensus-based process to consider and address issues brought forward by parents, staff or administration
-
Meets regularly—quarterly or monthly—and involves standing committees on topics like budgeting, staffing, curriculum, planning, and staff development
