This committee is known as the District Educational Improvement Committee (DEIC). The committee includes representatives from professional staff, parents of students enrolled in the district, business representatives, and community members.  Two levels of site-based decision-making teams function within the district:

The construct and utilization of the DEIC and CEICs, are in accordance to the Texas Education Code, Legal/Local Policy, and written administrative regulations.
