Dallas ISD May Require Parents to Take a Class if Their Children Misbehave

(WBAP/KLIF) – DALLAS, TX The Dallas ISD school board is meeting to talk about a proposal which would require parents to take a class if their children misbehave. District leaders are set to discuss proposed changes to the code of conduct as a way to avoid sending more students to an alternative school. Instead misbehaving students would be required to do community service or attend Saturday school. A parent or guardian would then be required to take a three hour parenting class.

Since state law mandates alternative schools for some offenses, the new proposal would not apply for all acts of misconduct. Trustees are set to decide on this proposal later this month.
