GISD board shuts down UIL participation for home-school students
Following a discussion in October, the Graham ISD Board of Trustees came to a consensus last week to not place an item on a future agenda allowing home-school students to participate in UIL extracurricular and academic activities.
The 87th Texas Legislature passed HB 547 in 2021 and with the 2021-2022 school year began allowing non-enrolled home-school students to participate in UIL activities. The board took no action on the item during their October meeting to get feedback regarding interest, but discussed the item again Wednesday, Dec. 13.
