Students must attend 90% of days to stay in extracurriculars

What happened

The board approved new extracurricular rules on August 27, 2026. Students must attend at least 90% of school days each grading period, must be at school the day after an event to play in the next one, and cannot check out early on an event day. Medical excuses will be considered.

Why it matters to families

Students in sports, UIL and other activities could lose eligibility for missed days. The principal said the goal is to raise attendance, which also affects state funding.

The evidence

August 27, 2026 recording: "Students must attend at least 90% of the school days in each grading period. Students who fall below 90% will result in immediate loss of eligibility" and "students may not be checked out early on the day of an extracurricular or co-curricular event." Motion approved.
