The Killeen Independent School District board of trustees approved the 2021-2022 student code of conduct handbook Tuesday to include an updated definition of harassment, and disciplinary situations which could lead to a mandatory disciplinary alternative education program placements.
âIt has been my pleasure to work on the student code of conduct with others in our district to make sure we get it right the first time,â Killeen ISD Director of Student Hearings Jennifer Washington said Tuesday.
The Student Code of Conduct is required of all school districts per Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code. The law requires all school districts to establish standards of student conduct and to identify the circumstances under which a student may be removed from a classroom, campus, or disciplinary alternative education program, transferred to a disciplinary alternative education program, suspended, or expelled.
The seven-member board has a jam-packed 22-item agenda to tackle.
The board will review and discuss the Sheridan Transportation Facility expansion, a project overview for middle school #15, the possible expansion of the districtâs school behavioral health centers, and the renewal of multiple agreements with local KISD partners.
