The Board approved the following items:

1. Consider Approval District of Innovation Proposed Amendment
   Recent guidance issued by the Texas Education Agency interprets the three-day limitation on suspension to apply to both out-of-school and in-school suspension. Such interpretation is not in line with historic interpretations wherein the three day limitation applied only to out-of-school suspension. The recent TEA guidance allows no flexibility, limits the disciplinary choices for campus staff, and does not align with historic interpretations of the statute. Previously, districts could utilize out-of-school suspension for a maximum of three days, and in-school-suspension was within the purview of districts’ Student Code of Conduct and disciplinary matrices. Providing a range of options for the campus, including use of in-school suspension beyond three days, allows campus staff to meet a student’s needs more fully while they are being disciplined. The district proposed an amendment to the District of Innovation plan as a way to provide relief from the statute. The amendment will allow us to develop our own discipline matrix as it relates to the instances of misconduct where in-school suspension beyond three days may be more appropriate than placement in DAEP. The DWEIC unanimously approved the amendment.
   
   
2. Consider Approval of 2024-2025 Teacher Allotments
   Consider the approval of 10 elementary allocations for the 2024-25 school year. These positions will be used as growth positions as our enrollment continues to increase. These positions include five self-contained special education teachers, one dual language teacher, and four general education teachers.
   

The Board also approved the following personnel items discussed in executive session:

1. Resignations
