What CHANNELVIEW ISD does

Channelview Independent School District (Channelview ISD / CISD) is a public school district and political subdivision of the State of Texas, serving more than 9,000 students in grades Pre-K through 12 across 10 campuses in the Channelview area of Harris County, Texas. The district operates two high schools (Channelview High School and Endeavor High School), two junior high schools (Alice Johnson Junior High and Anthony Aguirre Junior High), multiple elementary campuses including the New Horizons Fine Arts Magnet, an early childhood center (Barrett-Lee), and an alternative ACT Academy. Approximately 1,400 educators and support staff deliver instruction, with specialized offerings including the Gateway to Education P-TECH early college program, Career and Technical Education pathways, AVID college readiness, fine arts, and a district-wide 1:1 Chromebook program.

The district's technology backbone is built on integrated commercial K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems: Skyward serves as the Student Information System with Skyward Family Access for parent/student portals; ClassLink provides single sign-on; Eduphoria tracks staff professional development; Frontline Education handles absence management; Applitrack manages HR applications; iiQ manages IT work orders; and the Thrillshare Apptegy platform powers district communications and website. Cisco telephony supports voice infrastructure. The Texas Education Agency, Region 4 Education Service Center, and the Texas Comptroller's Transparency Stars program provide the regulatory and accountability framework.

Revenue is generated through a mix of local property taxes (M&O at $0.6788 per $100 and I&S at $0.2829 per $100, totaling $0.9617 with a $140,000 homestead exemption), state per-student funding (basic allotment of $6,215 per student after the 2025 legislature increase), and federal grants including Title I-IV and ESSER III. The 2025-26 adopted budget projects $103,768,895 in revenue against $106,521,948 in expenditures, a planned deficit of $2,753,053, with approximately 85% of expenditures allocated to salaries and benefits. The Channelview ISD Education Foundation (CISDEF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2012, provides supplementary funding through teacher innovative grants, student scholarships, and educational technology labs.
