Education in this community represents a significant commitment of financial and human resources. The benefits a student derives from this investment depend very much on the student's attitude toward learning and the student's adherence to high standards of behavior.
The Student Code of Conduct that follows is the district's specific response to requirements of Chapter 37: Discipline; Law And Order of the Texas Education Code. The law requires the district to define misconduct that may or must result in a range of specific disciplinary consequences.
This code is an outgrowth of collaboration among district and campus staff, parents, and other community members and was adopted by the AISD Board of Trustees. It provides information and direction to students and parents regarding standards of behavior as well as consequences of misconduct. In the case of conflict between the Student Code of Conduct and board policy, the Student Code of Conduct will prevail.

Code of Conduct Updates
The Student Code of Conduct is updated on an annual basis. During the 2021-2022 school year, an extensive amount of work was done to improve current Student Code of Conduct. A Student Code of Conduct workgroup was tasked with updating the document by addressing three key areas:
- Use of plain language and readability
- Incorporating Culturally Responsive Restorative Practices
- Clear understanding of caregiver/student rights
In addition to the work done by the workgroup, a survey was sent out to parents, students, staff, and community members to gather feedback for updates to the Student Code of Conduct.
