Cy-Fair ISD gears up for 2025-26 school year with potential policy changes

The Cy-Fair ISD board of trustees will consider revisions to several district policies at its upcoming Aug. 7 work session, including items relating to library materials, parent rights and “teaching about controversial issues.”

In a nutshell

District policy and student conduct revisions are standard practice ahead of a new academic year, and the board has a packed agenda to address. Potential revisions to CFISD policies include:

• Instructional resources - library materials
• Academic achievement - grading and progress reports to parents
• Parent rights and responsibilities, which includes the district’s pronoun policy
• Compensation and benefits - leaves and absences
• Miscellaneous instructional policies - teaching about controversial issues

Also on the agenda

The board will consider approval of the 2025-26 student code of conduct dictating prohibited behavior and disciplinary authority.

Trustees are also scheduled to review a potential resolution to declare a “good cause exception” for the state’s armed security officer requirement, which may be submitted if a district lacks available funding or qualified personnel to comply with the law.

Stay tuned

The work session is open to the public and scheduled for Aug. 7 at 6 p.m. in the Mark Henry Administration Building, located at 11440 Matzke Road in Cypress. Read the full agenda here.
