Model Student Code of Conduct
July 2009
On July 31, 2009, Spanish text was released for the Model Student Code of Conduct.
The TASB Model Student Code of Conduct is intended to assist your district in developing and maintaining your local Student Code of Conduct, mandated by Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code. The Model addresses the legal requirements of student codes of conduct in general and offers suggestions you may wish to include in your local Student Code of Conduct. It attempts to organize and harmonize the provisions of the law into a framework that, with fine-tuning by individual districts, can serve to communicate to students, parents, school staff, and the community exactly what is expected of students and how misconduct will be handled.
TASB Policy Service updates the Model Student Code of Conduct every other year, following regular sessions of the Texas Legislature.
The Model is made available in myTASB. Further instructions on accessing the Model were e-mailed to superintendents, superintendents' secretaries, and policy contacts on July 7, 2009.
