San Antonio ISD adopts updated student code of conduct and plans year-long rollout for homeschool UIL policy
Summary
Trustees approved an updated student code of conduct that includes new rules on cell phone use, vaping and disciplinary consequences, and adopted a policy to allow homeschool students to participate in UIL activities with a one-year planning period, board member Mike Filareal said.
San Antonio — The San Antonio Independent School District board approved an updated student code of conduct for the coming school year that adds rules governing cell phone use, vaping and the associated disciplinary consequences, board member Mike Filareal said at an Aug. 18 summary of trustee actions.
Trustees also adopted a policy on the participation of homeschool students in University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities and set a one-year planning period to work out implementation details. Filareal summarized the timeline in the recorded highlights: "We're giving ourselves time, a year to plan for this new policy." The transcript does not detail the implementation steps or any eligibility criteria.
Filareal said trustees discussed additional policy updates required by recently enacted state laws and noted the board must adopt those changes before Sept. 1. The transcript does not identify specific statutes, the text of the revised code of conduct, or whether the items were the subject of separate motions or roll-call votes.
The changes reflect compliance with state requirements and district disciplinary priorities, according to the board summary. Filareal presented these items as part of the meeting highlights; the record supplied does not include vote tallies or detailed policy language.
