In keeping with the move to decentralize resources and ensure the utmost efficiency in all operations, HISD is taking advantage of every money-saving measure that does not directly affect instruction. One of those is the weekly Superintendent's Bulletin, which is doing its part in the districtwide cost-cutting by adopting a new format and a new production schedule. For one thing, the new streamlined Superintendent's Bulletin is being printed in smaller type than in the past. Each elementary school receives four copies and each secondary school, six copies.
Every office receives at least one copy.
Another important cost-cutting change involves the content of the publication. It continues to be limited to information that it is essential for administrators to have, such as items concerning TEA regulations, mandatory inservices, Special Education, the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program, districtwide testing, state and federal law, and so on. Whenever possible, HISD will cover the more specialized, campus-oriented news in the newsletters HISD Today and F.Y.I. and on the HISD TV news shows. Distribution of the Superintendent's Bulletin in the new format combining the administrative, announcements, and personnel sections begins with the present issue, for August 10. Thanks to the new publication day, Tuesday , contributors to the administrative and announcements bulletins have a new, later deadline than in the past.
