Veribest ISD trustees vote to opt out of certain UIL participation under Texas SB401
Summary
The board unanimously voted to reserve University Interscholastic League participation for students enrolled and attending classes at Veribest ISD and to opt out under Texas Law SB401; motion passed 7–0.
The Veribest ISD Board of Trustees voted Aug. 18 to opt the district out of University Interscholastic League participation for students who are not enrolled and attending classes at Veribest ISD, citing Texas Senate Bill 401. The board recorded the decision in its minutes: "participation in University Interscholastic League activities, including athletics, is reserved for students who are enlisted and attend classes at Veribest ISD."
The board moved and passed the opt‑out motion 7–0 (motion moved by Mark Kellermeier; seconded by Dalena Freeman). Trustees did not receive public comment on the item during the meeting. The vote formalizes the district’s compliance decision under state law.
The board’s vote affects student eligibility for district teams and UIL activities; Athletic Director Justin Morris later reported on the start of fall sports and roster sizes but did not provide eligibility rulings for specific athletes at the meeting.
