Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming ARANSAS PASS ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Discipline Policy Hidden on Consent Agenda

📅 Vote Scheduled August 27, 2026

The district is set to approve the new Student Code of Conduct by placing it on the ‘Consent Agenda,’ a list of items typically passed with a single vote and no public discussion. Buried in the policy is the introduction of ‘restorative practices,’ a discipline philosophy that can replace traditional consequences for misbehavior with group therapy sessions. This significant policy shift should be debated in the open, not bundled with routine items.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Aransas Pass ISD Board of Trustees. ‘I demand Item IV.A, the Student Code of Conduct, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know where each board member stands on the district’s discipline philosophy, including the use of restorative practices.’

💰 Impact: Shift in student discipline policy without public debate.
