What is the DEIC?
Our DEIC plays a vital role in guiding the growth and improvement of Decatur ISD. This council, composed of parents, community members, students, and staff, provides feedback and recommendations to district leadership on key topics such as curriculum, student achievement, Gifted/Talented (GT) education policies and procedures, technology standards and implementation, finance, and professional development.

What does a typical DEIC meeting entail?
Each DEIC meeting begins with a “State of the District” update from either the superintendent or assistant superintendent, followed by group discussions led by district administrators on topics such as finance, technology, student learning, and district improvement efforts. Members provide feedback on next steps for district initiatives, education policies, legislative updates, program effectiveness, communication gaps, and engagement strategies. Discussions also support district strategies and future planning, including areas such as gifted/talented education, curriculum, and instructional programs.

How can I get involved?
Nominations and elections are held for DEIC each spring as committee members serve two-year rotating terms. If you are interested in becoming a member, contact Dr. Michelle Wooten at michelle.wooten@decaturisd.us.
