Chapel Hill ISD welcomes parents and guardians to be involved in their child's education and to become part of the school community by attending events or volunteering at school where such opportunities are available. Any person, including a parent or guardian, who comes to an event at a school or District facility—whether during, before, or after school—is expected to act in an appropriate, courteous, and professional manner toward school faculty, staff, and students.

Any person, including a parent or guardian, who engages in inappropriate, threatening, or other unprofessional conduct while at school or attending a school event may be asked to leave or may be given a warning. Should the problem conduct continue, the person may be removed from the school building or District facility at that time and in the future.

The standards that allow for a person to be removed from school property include:

• A person’s refusal to leave peaceably;

• A person posing a substantial risk of harm to others; or

• A person behaving inappropriately for a school setting.

Additional provisions:

• A person will be given a verbal warning that his or her behavior may result in ejection and future refusal of entry. If the behavior continues, the person may be removed.

• School personnel may ask any person for identification at any time while on school property.

• The District will maintain a record of all verbal warnings issued, including the name of the individual warned and the date of issuance.

• The District’s appeal process, in the event a Criminal Trespass Warning (CTW) or other order denying access to school property is issued, will follow:

  • FNG (Local) Policy – parent/student grievance process; or

  • GF (Local) Policy – community grievance process, if the person receiving the CTW or order is a community member.

• A parent or guardian who has received a CTW or other order denying access to school property will still be able to attend ARD meetings and/or Section 504 meetings for their child.

• A CTW or other applicable order will not exceed a period of two (2) years.

• Exception for extracurricular activities: A verbal warning and persistence in inappropriate behavior are not required for a referee, judge, or other official of an extracurricular athletic activity or competition sponsored or sanctioned by a public school district or the University Interscholastic League (UIL) to eject a spectator from the extracurricular athletic activity or competition.
