Board confirms policy to bar non-enrolled private-school and homeschool students from district extracurricular participation
Summary
Citing Senate Bill 401 and Texas Education Code section 33.0832, the board confirmed language in policy FD(local) that private-school and homeschool students who are not enrolled in the district will not be eligible for concurrent enrollment or participation in curricular or extracurricular activities.
Administration presented a recommendation to confirm board policy FD(local) to align with recent state legislative changes. Mr. Sims told trustees the board had previously declined to allow private-school and homeschool students to participate and that Senate Bill 401 created uncertainty prompting tonight's confirmation: "Administration recommends that the board confirm that the language contained in board policy FD local... shall not be eligible for participation," he said, citing Texas Education Code section 33.0832.
After brief discussion a trustee moved and the board approved the recommendation by voice vote. The motion carries in the transcript; the board did not receive or record public comment opposing the change during the public hearing.
