Tulia ISD equalizes absences for UIL and other extracurriculars, updates facility‑use rule
Summary
The Board approved FM (LOCAL)-X on Sept. 16, 2025, removing distinctions between UIL-related absences and other Board‑approved extracurricular absences and clarifying facility use rules for school‑sponsored and other groups.
The Tulia ISD Board unanimously approved FM (LOCAL)-X, a local policy change that requires the district to make no distinction between absences for University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities and absences for other Board‑approved extracurricular activities.
The motion was made by Board member Ashley Ramirez and seconded by Jenni McCaslin; the vote was recorded as unanimous. The policy language approved at the meeting also clarifies that school‑sponsored student groups may use district facilities with prior approval of the appropriate administrator, and that other outside student groups may use facilities under policy FNAB.
District officials did not provide additional details in the minutes about scheduling procedures, fee structures or application processes for facility use. The adopted change equalizes attendance allowances for UIL and other approved activities, aligning district practice for excused absences across extracurricular participation.
