In the inaugural address for his second term in January 2020, Mayor Sylvester Turner promised Houstonians would see “noticeable improvements” in the quality of city streets by the end of 2023. By the end of his rst year, however, many of the street rehabilitation projects planned throughout the city had been delayed. “There were contractor sta ng shortages and supply shortages, and in the districts where projects did get completed, it was because they were already underway,” Houston Public Works spokesperson Erin Jones said. Project design also took longer than anticipated because the public works department began following a new standard that requires the department to repair sidewalks along street repairs, Houston

also emphasized the important role police serve for HISD. On June 9, o cers responded quickly to an incident at North Forest High School when a student was shot in the hand by a driver who ed the area. “As a parent and a grandparent, I would rather wash pepper spray out of my child’s eye than go to the cemetery,” she said. Other HISD board members have spoken publicly about the need to take a closer look at policing. At the November workshop, HISD Police Chief Pete Lopez said his priorities include reducing the number of arrests and implementing programs that provide decision-making skills to students. The ght for reform will carry on into the new school year, Millet said. “Overall, we look forward to working with the next administra- tion and the board to implement policies to reduce police practices that physically and mentally harm students,” he said.
has changed, and more systemic changes are still needed. “Small procedural changes do not address the structural changes needed to make students feel safer in today’s HISD schools,” he said. The coalition of advocacy groups, of which One Houston is part, has called for four key changes that would prohibit police from pep- per-spraying students, using zip ties on students as handcu s, arresting students on campus for nonviolent o enses, and questioning students about alleged crimes without a parent or guardian present. “Changing policies to end the use of force and pepper spray puts a higher focus on [social-emotional learning] and restorative discipline practices, which bene t the whole student,” Millet said. At the June school board meet- ing, Blueford-Daniels clari ed o cers do not use pepper spray, instead using a gel she said allows them to be more direct in use. She
More than one year after a band of advocacy groups and Houston ISD students united to call on the district to reform the way it uses police on school campuses, some advocates said few changes have been made but are hopeful the conversation will continue into the new year. The district formed a police procedures committee last sum- mer and hosted a work session in November with members of advocacy groups such as One Hous- ton and Disability Rights Texas. After the HISD board adopted the district’s 2021-22 budget at a June 10 meeting, Trustee Kathy Blueford-Daniels, who chairs the police committee, said some police procedures had been revised, including that all o cers are now wearing body cameras. However, Ashton Millet, an orga- nizer with One Houston, said there has been little transparency in what

A $141.5 million construction project to build a new facility for Bellaire High School is 80% through its construction. The school is being built on the same lot as the former campus and will utilize an existing science wing, o cials said. Various elements of the project’s rst phase were completed in early 2021 and will be open to students during the 2021-22 school year, which will begin Aug. 23. A new academic wing features multi- ple exible learning areas; a ne arts wing includes a 900-seat auditorium and black box theater; and a physical education wing features two gyms, an eight-lane natatorium and a diving well. “Those are areas that every kid has to interact with at some point in high school,” Bellaire High School Principal Michael McDonough said. “Every kid has to take a year of ne arts, so every kid’s going to touch those areas, and every kid has to take a year of [physical education], so the kids are going to touch those areas.” Construction on the second and nal phase of the project will not be nished until August 2022. By the time the new school year starts, key elements of the project left to tackle will include a front entrance, a one-story administration wing, a ve-level parking garage, a new courtyard and a turf football eld that McDonough said will also be used for soccer and track. The new nearly 400,000-square-foot high school incorporates several key design elements requested in the 2012 bond referendum, including shared space collaboration, more e cient use of space and more natural light, McDonough said. “I think people will be very pleased with the nal product,” McDonough said. “We’re a strong school, and I think that this is going to make us even stronger.”
