Jourdanton ISD board votes to bar non-enrolled students from extracurriculars under new state allowance
Summary
The board amended FD(LOCAL) and FM(LOCAL) to decline granting extracurricular participation to non-enrolled students — including UIL activities — citing Texas Education Code Section 33.0832(c-2); the motion passed unanimously after discussion in the July 14 meeting.
The Jourdanton ISD Board of Trustees voted July 14 to amend Board Policies FD(LOCAL) and FM(LOCAL) to decline to allow non-enrolled students to participate in extracurricular activities, including University Interscholastic League programs. Trustee Kendall Schorsch moved the policy change citing Texas Education Code Section 33.0832(c-2); Trustee Vance Jupe seconded the motion and the board approved it on a recorded vote.
"I move to amend Board Policies FD(LOCAL) and FM(LOCAL), as allowed by Texas Education Code Section 33.0832(c-2), to decline to grant non-enrolled students the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, including activities governed by the University Interscholastic League, as presented by administration," Schorsch said when making the motion. The minutes record the motion language and the board’s unanimous recorded approval (Yea: 6; Nay: 0; Absent: 1).
The minutes do not include extended public comment on this change. The board’s action aligns with a state statutory allowance referenced in the motion; the minutes cite the statute by section but provide no administrative implementation details (eligibility procedures, appeals process, or grandfathering of current participants). The public minutes list the policy amendment as approved and do not supply further administrative guidance or an effective date in the text.
