Eastland ISD Responds to Social Media Walk-out Threat

After social media posts surfaced attempting to organize a walkout at Eastland High School and Eastland Middle School, Eastland ISD Superintendent Jeremy Williams shared the following message on the district’s social media page:

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It has come to the attention of the administration of Eastland ISD that a message is circulating regarding a possible planned walkout involving middle school and high school students on Tuesday. Please note that this activity is not supported by or condoned by Eastland ISD administration.

We would like to remind families of important expectations outlined in the Eastland ISD Student Code of Conduct (2025–2026). The Code of Conduct prohibits students from leaving school grounds or school-sponsored events without permission and requires students to comply with directives given by school personnel. The Code also prohibits actions or demonstrations that substantially disrupt or materially interfere with school activities.

Participation in a walkout during the school day, as well as refusal to return to class when directed by school staff, constitutes a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and will be subject to disciplinary consequences in accordance with district procedures.

In addition, for the safety and security of students and staff, individuals without a legitimate educational reason to be on campus or any Eastland ISD property will be denied access and/or directed to leave.

While we respect students’ rights to express their opinions, this must be done in a manner that does not disrupt instruction, interfere with school operations, or compromise student safety. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these expectations with your child and helping us maintain a safe, orderly, and respectful learning environment.

If you have questions regarding this matter or the Student Code of Conduct, please contact your campus administration.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Williams
Superintendent, Eastland ISD
