Liberty ISD board approves updated Student Code of Conduct reflecting recent state laws
Summary
Trustees approved an updated Student Code of Conduct that incorporates recent Texas legislative changes on suspensions, vapes, virtual expulsion programs and definitions of antisemitism; the change was approved unanimously among present members.
The Liberty ISD Board voted Aug. 19 to approve revisions to the Student Code of Conduct reflecting recent state legislation, Superintendent Dusty McCee and staff told trustees.
Assistant principals and district staff reviewed changes prompted by state law: House Bill 6 adjustments to suspension authority and Chapter 37 provisions, removal of mandatory DAEP placements for possession of vapes or e‑cigarettes, expansion of in‑school suspension options, and the adoption of virtual expulsion program requirements consistent with Senate Bill 569. The board also discussed requirements from Senate Bill 346 to address antisemitism specifically within the Student Code of Conduct and noted House Bill 1481’s requirement for a written policy on communications (aligned with current cellphone policy practices).
Trustee Malcom Goudeau moved to approve the Student Code of Conduct; Bruce George seconded and the measure passed 6–0 with one absence. Dusty McCee and assistant principals provided campus‑level implementation notes, and board members asked staff to ensure compliance with the cited statutes as the changes are implemented.
