1 HISD Redistricting Hearings May 26, June 1, June 7 and June 9, 2011
Andrews Kurth LLP The Law Offices of Rolando Rios Dr. Richard Murray

2 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR REDISTRICTING
Population Equality: “One Person — One Vote” Baker v. Carr Reynolds v. Sims Protections Against Discrimination of Racial, Ethnic and Language Minorities Voting Rights Act Equal Protection/14th Amendment: Redistricting Based on Race Shaw v. Reno Bush v. Vera Texas Constitution: Equal Protection Clause and Equal Rights Amendment 5/26/2011 Andrews Kurth

3 PRIORITIES AND PRINCIPLES FOR REDISTRICTING
(1) The nine HISD Trustee Districts will be of substantially equal population and, in no event, exceed a ten percent top to bottom deviation. (2) The new HISD Trustee Districts should be contiguous and reasonably compact. (3) The new HISD Redistricting Plan will be based, to the extent possible, on the existing trustee district composition. (4) Where possible, HISD will use easily identifiable geographic boundaries as district boundaries. (5) The HISD Redistricting Plan will seek to maintain communities of interest in a single district and avoid splitting neighborhoods when drawing district lines. 5/26/2011 Andrews Kurth

4 (6) The HISD Redistricting Plan will use whole county voting precincts, whenever possible, to draw trustee districts. (7) The new HISD Redistricting Plan will adhere to the Voting Rights Act and avoid retrogression in the position of racial, ethnic and language minorities with respect to the effective exercise of their right to vote. (8) The HISD Redistricting Plan will adhere to the Equal Protection Clause and will not use race as the predominate factor in developing the plan. (9) Recognizing the value of incumbent-constituency relations, the new HISD Redistricting Plan will seek to keep existing trustees in their existing districts. 5/26/2011 Andrews Kurth

5 Population Change in the Houston Independent School District: 2000 to 2010
% 2010 Change Total Population 1,259,617 100.0 1,312,684 100.00 + 53,067 % Non-Hispanic Whites 371,784 29.5 342,140 26.1 - 29,644 % Non-Hispanic Blacks 316,624 25.1 309,685 23.6 - 6,939 % Hispanics 510,588 40.5 580,994 44.3 + 70,406 + 13.8% Asians 51,332 4.1 72,621 5.5 + 21,289 + 41.5% Others 9,289 0.7 7,244 0.6 - 2,045 % The Houston Independent School District encompasses a mature, inner-urban area that now includes less than 25 percent of the metropolitan area population. With little open land available for development except in the south-central part of the district, growth in HISD was just 4.2 percent over the last 10 years. Both the Anglo (Non-Hispanic White) and Black populations declined, with Hispanics accounting for the most of the growth in the district, even though their rate of increase (13.8%) was far below their percentages outside HISD. The greatest percentage increase (41.5%) in the district occurred among Asian Americans. 5/26/2011 Andrews Kurth

6 Population Change in HISD Trustee Districts: 2000 – 2010
Deviation from Mean 1 134,864 132,513 2,351 % - 13,341 % 2 142,676 136,031 - 6,645 % - 9,822 % 3 145,819 141,324 - 4,495 % - 4,530 % 4 136,414 146,853 + 10,439 % % 5 147,053 151,794 + 4,741 % + 5,940 % 6 141,332 145,197 + 3,865 % % 7 135,847 154,442 + 18,595 + 13.7% + 8,588 % 8 134,067 137,725 + 3,658 - 8,128 % 9 141,545 166,805 + 25,260 + 17.8% +20,951 % The two trustee districts on the north side (1 and 2) lost population, as did Trustee District 3 in the southeast. Three districts (5, 6, and 8) experienced moderate growth over the decade. The fastest growth occurred in District 4 (10,439), District 7 (18,595), and District 9 (25,260). Because District 9 is more than 14 percent over the mean population for all districts in HISD, and District 1 is more than 9 percent below the mean, the range of 23.51% requires redrawing the present trustee boundaries. 5/26/2011 Andrews Kurth
