Website Notice: Refusal of Entry to or Ejection of an Individual from District Property
In accordance with Education Code 37.105, a school administrator, school resource officer (SRO), or school district peace officer of a school district may refuse to allow a person to enter or may eject a person from property under the district’s control if the person refuses to leave peaceably on request and:
1. The person poses a substantial risk of harm to any person; or
2. The person behaves in a manner that is inappropriate for a school setting, and:
a. The administrator, resource officer, or peace officer issues a verbal warning to the person that the person's behavior is inappropriate and may result in the person's refusal of entry or ejection; and
b. The person persists in that behavior
A person ejected from or refused entry to district property under this provision may appeal this action by filing an appeal under FNG(LOCAL) or GF(LOCAL) and shall be permitted to address the Board in person within 90 days of the commencement of the appeal if the grievance is not resolved at a previous level.
Open Carry Notification
As of January 1, 2016, Texas law allows individuals with a License to Carry (LTC) to openly carry a firearm in a hip or shoulder holster. However, this law does not override Texas Penal Code Section 46.03, which prohibits firearms on school property and at school-sponsored events.
In compliance with state law, Hallsville ISD will post signs at all campuses, buildings, and athletic facilities prohibiting the presence of firearms. Teachers, staff, students, parents, and visitors are strictly prohibited from bringing firearms onto school premises or to any district event, including sporting events, field trips, or board meetings—regardless of LTC status.
These restrictions will be strictly enforced. For more information, please refer to Texas Penal Code Sections 46.03 and 46.035.
