Slaton ISD board permits parent to attend 2026 graduation after appeal
Summary
After a closed‑session appeal hearing, Slaton ISD trustees voted unanimously to modify prior action so a parent may attend the 2026 Slaton High School graduation and senior awards through May 31, 2026, with access coordinated by the superintendent.
The Slaton Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously March 23 to modify a prior action so that a parent who had appealed an exclusion may attend the 2026 Slaton High School graduation and senior awards.
Kara Newcomb moved "for the Board to modify action received by said parent so that said parent may attend the 2026 Slaton High School graduation and Senior awards," with the motion carried 6–0. The board specified that campus access, if needed, must be coordinated through Superintendent Shelli Conkin and that Conkin may designate a third party to escort the parent on campus; the access allowance expires May 31, 2026.
The modification followed a closed‑session appeal hearing held under the district’s GF(LOCAL) policy on refusal of entry or ejection from district property. The hearing began at 7:36 p.m. and concluded at 8:14 p.m.; trustees reconvened in open session at 8:49 p.m. The board did not announce further sanctions or conditions beyond the escorted access conditions described in the motion.
