Parents and students urge Jim Ned board to allow homeschoolers in UIL; policy on SB 401 tabled
Summary
Public commenters asked the board to permit homeschool participation in UIL activities; the board later discussed a policy under SB 401 but tabled action at the July 17 meeting.
Three members of the public—Jessica Young, Clayton Young and Chase Cundiff—addressed the board during the open forum to urge that non-enrolled homeschool students be allowed to participate in University Interscholastic League (UIL) extracurricular activities. The speakers framed their requests as a matter of student access and parity with enrolled students.
The board later considered a formal policy regarding homeschool participation under Senate Bill 401 but took no action; the item was tabled. Superintendent Will Brewer introduced the policy discussion on the agenda, and trustees deferred the matter for later consideration. No formal policy change or vote was recorded at this meeting.
