DUMAS TX - The State Board of Education passed an amendment to 19 TAC§ 129.21 (k)(1), allowing public school students to be considered "in attendance" when participating in off-campus activities with an adjunct staff member of the school district.

This amendment provides local school boards the opportunity to recognize County Extension Agents as adjunct staff members and to count students participating in 4H/Extension educational activities "in attendance" for Foundation School Program purposes.

The Dumas ISD School Board voted to approve three adjunct faculty staff members at the November 14th meeting. A motion was made by Joe Ballard, seconded by Kirk Pope and carried with a 6-0 board vote to approve adjunct faculty staff member status for Marcel Fischbacher, Carolyn Sue Owens and Jennifer Johnson.
