Jim Ned CISD board bans homeschooled students from UIL activities
Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted a policy to prohibit homeschooled (non‑enrolled) students who live in the district from participating in University Interscholastic League extracurricular activities, following public comment and a staff review of other districts' policies.
The Jim Ned CISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Aug. 18, 2025, to adopt a resolution and board policy prohibiting homeschooled students who reside in the district from participating in University Interscholastic League (UIL) extracurricular activities. The motion was made by Cam Holson and seconded by Mike Daggs; the vote was 5–0 in favor.
The item followed public comment from Clayton and Jessica Young, who addressed the board during the open forum about homeschool participation in UIL. Superintendent Will Brewer provided trustees with information compiled from other districts to inform the board's decision. The board's action implements district policy changes in response to Senate Bill 401-related matters raised in the discussion.
Board members did not record dissent during the formal vote. Members present for the decision were Mike Daggs, Jonathan Davis, Cam Holson, Dr. Traci King and Tai Ann McClendon. The district did not include language in the motion about grandfathering or an implementation timeline in the meeting minutes; those details were not specified at the meeting and are to be handled by administration.
