The Cy-Fair ISD board of trustees met on Oct. 19 to approve several policy revisions and instructional materials. During the meeting, Superintendent Doug Killian highlighted National Principals Month and reminded the community about early voting and what is on the ballot for the district.

The board took action on several items:

• Unanimously approved consent items, including meeting minutes from Sept. 14, additions and revisions to academic achievement class ranking policies, and the acquisition of donated or obtained library materials.
• Approved an addendum to an agreement between Harris County and the district regarding a vocational training site for special education students, in a 6-0 vote with Trustee Kendra Camarena abstaining.
• Unanimously approved HMH Reading Version 2 and HMH ¡Arriba la Lectura! as the K-5 language arts and reading instructional materials.

The board's next meeting is scheduled for Nov. 5 at the Mark Henry Administrative Building.
