Cy-Fair ISD trustees are set to vote on changes to the district’s internal guidelines regarding student and employee complaint filings and standards of conduct. These changes align with recent rulings the board has made regarding student conduct and parental rights.
The details
According to meeting agenda documents, CFISD board members will discuss multiple changes to its conduct policies at the upcoming March 2 regular board meeting. Some of the proposed updates involve policies regarding:
- Public complaints
- Student rights and responsibilities
- Employee complaints and grievances
- Student welfare and reporting abuse
A proposed edit to the student welfare policy includes a new standard regarding student pronouns and sexual orientations. The updated rule states that “the definitions of abuse and neglect specifically exclude the refusal of a person responsible for a child’s care, custody, or welfare to affirm the child’s expressed sexual orientation or perception of the child’s gender.”
