The Texas Legislature has delegated the authority to manage independent school districts and discipline students to the Board of Trustees and its employees. The school has the authority to administer discipline whenever the interest of the school is involved, on or off school property, in conjunction with or independent of classes and school-sponsored activities. The District's disciplinary authority applies:

• during the regular school day and while the student is going to and from school on District transportation;
• within 300 feet of school property;
• while the student is participating in any activity during the school day on school grounds;
• during lunch (whether on or off school campus);
• while the student is in attendance at any school-related activity of the district, regardless of time or location; refer to the guidelines of the specific extracurricular activities.
• when the student is on school property of another Texas school district or attending a school activity of a school in another Texas school district.
• for any school-related misconduct, regardless of time or location;
• when the student retaliates or threatens retaliation against a school employee, regardless of time and location;
• when the district has reasonable belief that the student has engaged in conduct that would be punished as a felony, as provided by Texas Education Code 37.006;
• when the student is involved in criminal mischief on or off school property or at a school-related event;
• when a student makes a false alarm or report of bombing, fire, or other emergency involving a public school, regardless of time or locations;
• when the student makes a terroristic threat involving a public school, regardless of time or location;
• when the student commits aggravated robbery against another student regardless of time or location.
