Trustees approve policy barring private‑ and home‑schooled students from extracurricular participation
Summary
The board approved FD Local and FM Local changes, stating that students enrolled in private school or home school should not be allowed concurrent enrollment for curricular or extracurricular participation in Crowley ISD; the change was tied to recent state legislative action (Senate Bill 401, Texas Education Code citation referenced).
Ms. Batiste presented FD Local (admissions) and FM Local (student activities), explaining the administration's recommendation to restrict participation by private‑school and home‑schooled students in district extracurricular and curricular activities. She identified the legislative source as Senate Bill 401 and cited Texas Education Code 33.0832 in the presentation.
The board asked clarifying questions and then moved and approved both policies. Ms. Batiste summarized: "the recommendation from the administration is that they should not be allowed to have concurrent enrollment in the district for participation in curricular or extracurricular activities," and, in the FM Local presentation, reiterated that "a student who is in a private school or home school that they cannot participate in Crowley ISD extracurricular opportunities." Trustees approved both policies by voice vote.
