Bells ISD board adopts TASB Localized Policy Update 126
Summary
At its Nov. 10 meeting, the Bells ISD Board approved TASB Localized Policy Update 126, revising multiple (Local) policies including board meeting procedures, cybersecurity and AI technology rules, personnel conduct, and student-welfare provisions. The motion passed 6–0.
At a regular meeting on Nov. 10, 2025, the Bells ISD Board of Trustees voted to adopt the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Localized Policy Manual Update 126, approving additions, revisions and deletions to multiple (Local) policies. The motion to approve the policy update was made by E.T. Pettit and seconded by Lonnie Carter; the board recorded six affirmative votes (Matt Stephens, Dava Washburn, Lonnie Carter, Jeremy Moore, Stephanie Nettles and E.T. Pettit).
The policies listed in the agenda include changes to board meeting rules (BE[LOCAL], BED[LOCAL]), contracted services and background checks (CJ[LOCAL], CJA[LOCAL]), buildings and facilities requirements (CLE[LOCAL], CV[LOCAL]), and a broad set of student- and personnel-related policies (including DH[LOCAL], FFF[LOCAL], FFG[LOCAL], and others). The agenda also notes updates to technology resources, specifically CQB(LOCAL) on cybersecurity and CQD(LOCAL) on artificial intelligence. The public record in the minutes shows the board approved the package as presented; the minutes do not record further debate or amendments.
The adoption means the district will proceed with the updated local policy language provided by TASB Policy Service under Update 126. The minutes do not specify an implementation timeline or administrative steps; staff responsible for policy maintenance are listed on the agenda as district administrators. No public comments were recorded on the policy changes during the meeting.
