Latexo Independent School District
School district in Texas
Latexo Independent School District is a public school district based in Latexo, Texas, in the U.S. state of Texas. In addition to serving the city of Latexo, it also serves unincorporated north-central Houston County and a small portion of the nearby city of Crockett.[1]
The district has two campuses - Latexo High (grades 7–12) and Latexo Elementary (prekindergarten-grade 6).
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]
History
In 2020 the district began designating Fridays as "flex days".[3]
Controversy
In July 2024, the ACLU of Texas sent Latexo Independent School District a letter, alleging that the district's 2023-2024 dress and grooming code appeared to violate the Texas CROWN Act, a state law which prohibits racial discrimination based on hair texture or styles, and asking the district to revise its policies for the 2024-2025 school year.[4][5]
