Board adopts limited local changes to Boerne ISD Student Code of Conduct

The Boerne ISD Board of Trustees adopted local updates to the district’s Student Code of Conduct for the 2025–26 school year at the June 16 meeting. Staff said they convened a cross‑department committee including principals and program representatives to review local language in advance of the school year and to incorporate any changes the legislature may require later this summer. The board approved a handful of local edits intended to clarify enforcement and administration. Key local changes approved: staff said the revisions include clarifying that hat rules apply only indoors, removing a redundant shorts inseam reference in favor of an existing "mid‑thigh" requirement, adding language allowing campus administrators (in addition to bus drivers) to initiate temporary removal of bus privileges, and updates to contact information and administrative language. The board noted that additional code changes that result from statutory updates will be brought back after the legislature’s final guidance. Why it matters: The code of conduct governs student behavior expectations, discipline processes and campus operations; trustees said consistent enforcement across campuses remains a focus and that principals will receive guidance and training to implement the changes uniformly. Board action: A motion to adopt the code with the local changes passed in open session. Staff said they will bring any further statutory updates to the board when TEA guidance and legislative changes are finalized this summer. What happens next: District staff will distribute the updated code to families and staff prior to the start of school, continue administrative training for consistent enforcement, and return to the board with any required legislative changes.
