The board adopted a resolution acknowledging the requirements of Senate Bill 12 and directing staff to update district policy as state guidance becomes available. Board counsel presented the resolution as an interim step while the district awaits model policy language from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Why it matters: SB12 imposes new parental‑rights and notice requirements on Texas school districts; the board’s adoption signals an administrative effort to align LISD policy with recent statutory changes.

Counsel’s explanation: Counsel said the district’s existing policy BF operates as a stop‑gap when board policy conflicts with law and that the resolution expresses the board’s intent to bring local policy into conformity once TASB and TEA provide final model language.

Board action and vote: Trustee Trish moved adoption; the motion was seconded. The recorded vote indicated five ayes and one abstention; the board chair declared the motion passed.

Ending: Administration said it will return draft policy language and recommended edits to affected local policies once TASB/TEA provide model wording and legal counsel completes review.
