Lake Dallas ISD adopts TASB Local Policy Update 123 covering tax notices, safety, materials and more
Summary
Trustees approved TASB Local Policy Update 123, which incorporates 2023–2024 statutory and administrative changes across tax‑notice requirements, instructional materials, library standards, safety, special education and telehealth guidance.
The Lake Dallas ISD Board of Trustees on Aug. 12 approved TASB Local Policy Update 123, a comprehensive set of local policy revisions and explanatory notes reflecting legislative and Administrative Code changes from the 88th Legislature and state agencies.
Superintendent Dr. Kristin N. Brown presented the update, which covers a wide range of areas: local revenue and ad valorem tax notice requirements (HB 3273), instructional materials and library material separation (creation of EFA and EFB policy codes), updated special education rules and dyslexia references, new school‑library collection development standards, telehealth as a Medicaid covered service, and revisions to safety and security policies including school resource officer jurisdiction and active‑threat exercise guidance. The explanatory notes included citations to new or amended Administrative Code and legislative provisions.
The board voted to approve the update on a motion moved by Aaron Appleby and seconded by Bruce Smith. The motion passed 7‑0. Meeting materials attached a detailed instruction sheet and explanatory notes describing the legal changes and recommended local policy language.
Board action implements required updates to ensure district policies align with recent state law and TEA/Admin Code changes; staff will incorporate the revised language into the local policy manual and post required tax‑notice and other internet postings as specified.
