WATCH HEREThe review process comes one month after a shooting that injured four students and a teacher at Wilmer-Hutchins High School. In that case, a student opened a locked door to allow another student inside, which is already a violation under the current student handbook.
District staff on Thursday did not address any incident, but said there were minor edits to wording to ensure the written policy accurately reflects practice. One example, a three-week referral to the district's Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) for a student who bypasses or breaches campus security by opening a locked door.

SIGN UP The current version of the policy lists the infraction as one that provides discretion for a campus principal, when in practice, the district requires a 15-day automatic DAEP referral for a first offense of the policy.
The updated language now lists a student violating this portion of the handbook as "mandatory" referral to DAEP.

Dallas ISD ended out of school suspension for middle and high school students in 2021, with the launch of reset centers.
Board trustee Dan Micciche said he would like to see more district-level data on responses from campus employees on their satisfaction with the district's discipline policy.
"Since we went to these newer policies, we've gotten more positive responses over time," Micciche said. "Despite different anecdotes and some exceptions at some schools, but overall that these policies are working to the benefit of our kids and are being recognized by staff on campus as mostly helping."
The Dallas ISD board of trustees is expected to approve its annual budget and any updates to the student code of conduct handbook on May 22.
