I don't normally post in the FL, but this does focus on a topic of much heated discussion. I was just curious about how others feel about the consequences mentioned in the letter. I received this last night from Humble ISD, and it doesn't just affect KPark but all of the high schools in our district. My DS mentioned that he was aware that there will be a walkout at his school this week. I'm trying to decide if I should just keep him home because I'm sure that if other students start leaving, he will walk out too. Not out of solidarity for the subject, but just because of peer pressure and if his friends are doing it, he will too, although I doubt he would be disruptive about it. February 3, 2026Dear Kingwood Park High School Families,There have been reports of student walkouts happening related to immigration issues in the news. Some of our students have mentioned plans to walk out of school this week.Humble ISD is writing to ensure families understand safety and disciplinary consequences related to this issue.First, student safety is our top priority. When students are in school, they are supervised and protected. Leaving the building during the school day poses safety risks, which is why we strongly encourage students to stay in school. Our law enforcement partners have told us that students who congregate on private property may be subject to having criminal charges filed against them.Second, while students have rights under the First Amendment, courts have ruled that these rights do not include disrupting school operations, such as by walking out to protest. Students are expected to attend their classes throughout the day.Students who disrupt the campus by participating in a mass walkout will receive disciplinary consequences including campus-based discipline, suspension (in-school or out-of-school), or placement at DAEP, depending upon the severity of the disruption.Students who are absent without permission from class are considered truant and will receive unexcused absences for any classes that they miss.Students should remember that attendance and discipline affect eligibility for exam exemptions.Families are asked to emphasize with their children that students are expected to stay in school and that there are consequences for leaving or disrupting the learning environment. Everyone has a right to express viewpoints, but students have a responsibility to be in school.
