Dear Liberty Hill ISD families and staff, 

We have received reports, including information shared on social media, indicating the possibility of student walkouts or demonstrations at one or more campuses.

We respect students’ right to express their views while maintaining our responsibility to ensure student safety and continuity of learning. Student expression may not substantially disrupt instruction, school activities, or the rights and safety of others.

Students may not leave class or campus during the instructional day without permission and must follow established campus procedures. Leaving class or campus creates safety concerns and disrupts learning. As with any school day, students who miss class will receive an unexcused absence, be required to make up missed work, and any disruptions will be addressed in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct and district policy.

District staff cannot physically prevent students from leaving campus, and family guidance plays an important role in helping students make safe choices. We encourage families to talk with their students about responsible ways to share their perspectives, including meeting with campus administrators, organizing approved before- or after-school activities, or participating in civic engagement.

We understand that immigration-related topics may raise concerns for families. Liberty Hill ISD follows all applicable state and federal laws, and immigration enforcement actions have not occurred on district property. Clear procedures, guided by Board policy GRA (LEGAL and LOCAL), are in place for any interaction with law enforcement, with student and staff safety as the top priority.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust as we support our students together. If you have any questions, please contact your campus administration.

Sincerely,

Travis Motal

Interim Superintendent

Liberty Hill Independent School District
