United ISD approves 2025–26 student code of conduct with staff‑recommended discipline levels

United Independent School District trustees approved the 2025–26 student code of conduct in open session and authorized district legal counsel to modify the document as required by law.

During discussion, trustees and staff clarified discipline level assignments for certain conduct items. A director for discipline management asked to confirm whether an item the staff had proposed as a discretionary level‑3 offense (which previously included the words “running away”) would be adopted with the recommended changes; board discussion confirmed the district would proceed with the staff recommendation to keep the item at level 2 without additional changes.

Why it matters: the student code of conduct sets disciplinary categories and procedures that affect day‑to‑day campus operations, parent notifications and how administrators apply consequences for specific behaviors.

Board action and next steps: the board approved the code of conduct and authorized the district’s legal counsel to update the language as necessary to comply with state or other legal requirements. No roll‑call vote was provided in the transcript; the chair called for voices in favor and recorded the motion as passing.
