Summary
The board adopted the 2025–2026 District Handbooks, the Student Code of Conduct, and several local policy changes (including CH LOCAL on micropurchases, library materials policy under SB13 and HB1481 personal device rules), with all motions passing unanimously.
The Santa Gertrudis ISD Board on July 21 approved a package of policy updates and handbooks for the 2025–2026 school year, including the district handbooks and the student code of conduct.
Board members voted to adopt the District Handbooks and the Student Code of Conduct after presentations by Dr. Alfaro; both motions passed 5–0. The board also approved local policy CH (LOCAL) to address compliance with micropurchases. In addition, the board adopted updates intended to align district rules with recent state legislation: FD (LOCAL) related to admissions, FM (LOCAL) student activities, a resolution regarding UIL SB401, a library materials policy tied to SB13, and a personal communication device policy consistent with HB 1481. Each motion was moved and seconded and recorded as passing with five votes in favor and none opposed.
The minutes do not record detail of the substantive changes within each policy; the actions recorded are approvals of the presented policies and a resolution on UIL SB401. The board did not record amendments to the motions or reserve further study in the minutes.
