Approval Of Proposed Revisions To Board Policy FD(LOCAL), Admissions
body
The purpose of this agenda item is to request that the Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board approves revisions to Board Policy FD(LOCAL), Admissions. The changes are recommended to update information in response to Senate Bill 401 of the 89th Legislative Session. This law requires school districts to allow homeschool participation in University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities unless the school board adopts a policy to opt out of allowing it. To accommodate the new law, the UIL set the date for opting out as September 1, 2025. In subsequent years, the deadline will be August 1 for any change in status a school board votes to take.
A copy of Board Policy FD(LOCAL) showing the proposed changes is attached.
