Administration presented the board with highlighted changes and page references in the board packet, noting three items of particular local importance: required student IDs, revised rules for personal communication devices, and disciplinary changes tied to nicotine/vape possession and teacher removal authority. The presentation said campuses will use a progression of consequences (detention and dress‑code consequences) and that principals may approve alternate plans that reduce placement days for students when appropriate.

On personal devices the administration described the local approach as a blend of prohibition and supervised use: phones are to be off and kept in backpacks during class; if a student leaves the classroom with a phone, the device must be stored in a pocket chart rather than carried loose. Administration said teachers previously had classroom‑level discretion; the updated code formalizes and tightens the expectation.

On nicotine and vaping, state law changed from mandatory disciplinary alternative‑placement (DAP) to discretionary placement; Sharyland ISD will retain DAP placement locally as a disciplinary option and outlined a progression of consequences in the code. The code also adds a campus behavior coordinator role and reaffirms threat‑assessment team processes.

The code updates change the teacher removal policy from requiring multiple incidents to permitting removal after a single incident in certain circumstances. In‑school suspension (ISS) maximum days were altered in state guidance; the administration advised the board that the district will follow the new rules with a 10‑day administrator review for ISS placements.

The board approved the code by voice vote, 7–0.

At a board meeting, a district presenter identified changes to the state accountability system that affected recent ratings, including recalculation of CCMR (college, careers, and military readiness), recalibrated academic‑growth measures and revised ‘‘closing the gaps’’ calculations. The presenter said those rule changes and related litigation delayed release of some ratings and affected high‑school outcomes.

The presenter said Sharyland High School earned an A for 2023–25 and that Pioneer High School moved from a B in prior years to an A in 2025. BL Gray junior high maintained an A with a 92, and the presenter listed campus scores and distinctions for elementary and other junior‑high campuses. The presenter noted Sharyland Elementary earned a B in 2025 and said campuses such as RD Martinez and Donna Wiernicki finished the year with scores near the next letter grade.

\"We are an A district. We earned a 91, and we are one of the few districts in Region 1,\" the presenter said, noting regionwide comparisons and that only 18% of districts in Region 1 earned As in the most recent release.

Board members praised campus leaders and emphasized the role of student attendance, participation in accelerated programs, and postsecondary options such as AP/SAT/ACT in improving outcomes. The presentation included distinctions based on campus quartiles for postsecondary readiness and noted that district ratings are weighted by enrollment shares across elementary, junior‑high and high‑school campuses.

The presentation was informational; no formal board action on the accountability ratings was required.
