Texas coaches association opposing vote on homeschool Bill LaPoynor boys basketball beats Hudson, Huntington girls beat Lufkin at the buzzer By Caleb Beames | May 4, 2021 at 10:12 PM CDT - Updated May 5 at 1:38 AM
NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KTRE) - The Texas High School Coaches Association is hoping for the state legislature to once again strike down a bill that would allow for home school students to participate in events, both academic and athletic, sponsored by the University Interscholastic League.
Representative James Frank of Wichita Falls will have House Bill 547 voted on Wednesday in Austin.
“This is a bill we have been fighting for five session,” THSCA Executive Director Joe Martin said. “This is from James Frank. He wrote this bill out about six weeks ago. I was there to testify against it. The bill was not moving so he submitted another version that was more permissive that will now allow local ISD’s to have local control. They would be able to make a decision
Texas home-school students are as close as they’ve ever been to getting the chance to compete in public school sports, despite vigorous objections from coaches and others worried about creating an uneven playing field.
House members could vote as early as today on a bill that would allow school districts and charter schools to choose whether home-schooled students can participate in academic, fine and performing arts and athletic activities regulated by the state’s governing body, the University Interscholastic League.
A companion bill is expected to be heard by the Senate’s Committee on Education in the coming week.

It was just a surreal moment : Texas High School crowns first LGBTQ+ prom king

ALLEN, Texas For a while, Lee Haskett and the rest of his class didn t even know if they would have a senior prom. When I heard that prom was going to happen, I said okay I want to do something big, Haskett said.
His first step was to apply to be on the prom court. He was voted on by the student council, and it was up to the rest of the students to make the final decision.
