Dallas ISD May Require Parents to Take a Class if Their Children Misbehave
SUMMARY: The Dallas ISD school board is considering a proposal requiring parents to attend a class if their children misbehave. To avoid placing students in alternative schools, misbehaving students would instead perform community service or attend Saturday school while their parents take a three-hour parenting class. The proposal aims to address student misconduct without resorting to alternative schooling, which is mandated by state law for certain offenses. The board will discuss and decide on this proposal later in the month. (Source: WBAP/KLIF, June 14, 2024)
