Summary
The Fruitvale ISD Board voted 5–0 (two absent) to prohibit homeschool students from participating in UIL‑sanctioned district activities after district discussion and comparison with neighboring districts.
The Fruitvale ISD Board on July 17 voted to prohibit homeschool students from participating in University Interscholastic League‑sanctioned district activities. After discussion, Board Member Kim Pettiet made the motion; Charles Lacy seconded and the motion carried 5–0 with two members absent.
Board members noted that several neighboring districts — including Edgewood, Canton, Van and Grand Saline — were not allowing homeschool students to participate, a factor raised during the discussion prior to the vote. The motion was recorded during the meeting minutes and implemented by board action; no amendments or conditions were recorded at the time of the vote.
