Brock ISD board approves policy revision on commencement eligibility for early-completion students
Summary
At a May 20, 2026 special meeting, the Brock ISD Board of Trustees voted 6-0 to adopt revisions to Board Policy FMH(LOCAL) to address participation in commencement activities by students who earn a diploma under the Texas First Early High School Completion Program (Texas Education Code §28.0253).
At a special meeting May 20, 2026, the Brock ISD Board of Trustees approved revisions to Board Policy FMH(LOCAL) to clarify which students may participate in commencement activities. Dr. Shannon Luis, the district superintendent, presented the proposed language to align local practice with the Texas First Early High School Completion Program and cited Texas Education Code §28.0253 as the statutory reference for early completion diplomas. Trustee Toby Farmer moved to approve the policy changes and Trustee Lacy Kimball seconded; the motion carried 6-0. The vote in favor was recorded as: Brunner, Hart, McGuire, Farmer, Kimball and Hays; there were no votes against.
A Brock High School parent addressed the board during public comment to express support for the revision. The minutes do not specify an effective date for the revised FMH(LOCAL) or any implementing procedures; those details were not specified in the record and remain to be set by the administration or at a future board meeting. The board did not debate substitute language or amendments on the record; the motion adopted the revisions “as presented.”
