Board adopts TASB update 126 with limited grievances exception and formalizes student outcome goals in AE local
Summary
Trustees approved TASB Policy Update 126 with the governance committee's recommended exceptions to retain current grievance policies, and formally adopted AE local to enshrine board student-outcome goals (including third-grade reading and fifth-grade math targets through 2030).
The CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD board approved TASB Policy Update 126 on March 5 with a governance-committee recommendation to retain the district’s existing grievance policies (DGBA, FNG, GF) under the district’s District of Innovation status.
Dr. Smoskus and governance subcommittee members described a multi-week review of TASB’s side-by-side policy comparisons and said most proposed changes were adopted; the governance committee recommended excluding grievance-policy replacements and keeping the district’s existing procedures. Trustees voted unanimously to accept Update 126 with that carve-out.
The board also voted to adopt AE local, a policy that formally reflects the board’s strategic student outcome goals — including emphasis on third-grade reading and fifth-grade mathematics and a multi-year horizon through 2030 — signaling an intention to anchor future decisions and legislative priorities to those objectives.
What's next: administration will develop any needed regulations and procedures to implement the adopted policies and return to the board with required follow-up documents.
