Board adopts FD(LOCAL) update to opt out of non‑student UIL participation (minutes note tally inconsistency)
Summary
Trustees approved an update to FD(LOCAL) reflecting Senate Bill 401 and a resolution to opt out of non‑student participation in UIL activities; the minutes record an inconsistent vote notation ('Motion carried 6-0 with Jerry Cobb opposing').
The New Diana ISD Board considered updates to FD(LOCAL) in response to Senate Bill 401, which addresses eligibility for UIL activities. Cari Roberts moved to approve the policy update and adopt a resolution to opt out of non‑student participation in UIL activities; Becky Smith seconded the motion. The minutes record the action as "Motion carried 6-0 with Jerry Cobb opposing," an internal inconsistency in the tally recorded in the minutes.
The board’s action updates district policy language to reflect the Senate bill and pursues an opt‑out resolution regarding private‑school or homeschooled students participating in district UIL programs. The minutes do not include further detail about the resolution’s text or implementation timeline.
