KISD supports student expression that is safe, respectful, and does not interrupt instruction. Families may wish to discuss alternatives to walkouts with their student, such as: passive expression (wearing a specific color of clothing, wristband, or button, as permitted by the Killeen ISD dress code), writing a letter or email to an elected official such as a member of Congress, or participating in discussions or community events outside of school hours.
The Texas Education Agency issued guidance to school districts on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, reinforcing that districts must protect instruction during the school day and follow state law and attendance requirements. Killeen ISD will follow this guidance.
In Killeen ISD, the focus remains on student safety and keeping students engaged in learning.
As a reminder, secondary campuses in Killeen ISD are closed campuses. Students may not leave campus during the school day without being signed out by a parent/guardian through the front office.
Any student who participates in a walkout will be marked absent and receive discipline consequences under attendance and truancy policies, as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
Under Killeen ISD policy FNCI(Legal), disruptive activity on school property include actions such as obstructing entrances, exits, or hallways or interfering with school operations. Student behavior that meets this definition will result in disciplinary consequences, including up to a Class B misdemeanor under the Texas Education Code § 37.123.
Killeen ISD respects student free speech and want students to be heard in ways that are safe, respectful, and appropriate during the school day. KISD thanks families for their partnership in keeping campuses safe and focused on learning.
A message was sent directly to parents/guardians of middle and high school students.

Dear Iduma Families,
Happy New Year! We are excited to welcome our students back to campus for the start of the second semester! We were so thrilled by our students' behavior and attendance in December. We had the 3rd highest attendance rate for all KISD elementary schools.
We have a new incentive for the month of January. Students, who have no unexcused absences and are on time to school every single day, as well as have not received short forms or office referrals from today until January 30th, will be celebrated with a Glow Party! I have attached the flyer and students have already been told about it.
Here's a couple of ways we can help our students meet their goal:
1) Make sure students are on time to school every single day!
2) Provide notes for any absence or tardy if they aren't feeling well or have an appointment!
3) Encourage good behavior and reminders daily about school expectations!
Thank you so much for your continued support!
Nancy Van Riper-Howley
Asst. Principal
