[quote name="DoRightTrojanFan" post="1127672" timestamp="1321996238"] [quote author=ChampionEagles link=topic=92048.msg1127545#msg1127545 date=1321988076] This has to do with DAEP (in school suspension) and the trashing of a computer room on Friday. Two of Crocketts players were involved and played then bragged about it on Saturday to one of Newton's players on facebook. Now this is what this is about. No names. If it happened like that it is a violation of UIL rules for the kids to have played. [/quote] The key is going to be whether the students were assigned to DAEP (disciplinary alternative education program) or ISS (in school suspension). There is a difference. [/quote] I think it will come down more to timing. If the act occurred on Friday, I could see Crockett ISD arguing that they had to have the opportunity to investigate and determine the extent of the issue and could not make a placement into DAEP until after the game. Remember, if the act is one specified in 37.006, there is no disrection, the student MUST be placed in DAEP.

So to boil all of this down, assuming that the offense committed was the trashing of the computer room is if they caused damage of at least $1,500 (which we all know doesn't take a whole lot of effort), they engaged in conduct punishable as a felony. If so, they MUST be removed from regular class and placed in a disciplinary alternative education program and are prohibited from attending or participating in a school-sponsored or school-related activity. So they were ineligible to play in the playoff game last Friday against Newton and thus their participation is cause for the UIL to order Crockett to forfeit the game.

[quote name="atb63" post="1127629" timestamp="1321993456"] Thanks WOSGrad. So, it's not just that they were assigned to DAEP, that prohibits them from participating in UIL sponsored events, but the reason must be in the code TX 37.006 "Students who are placed in a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) for a reason included in TEC §37.006 must be prohibited from attending or participating in a school-sponsored or school related activity" It's still not clear, because the next sentence also states that it can be enforced by district policy. Man, they have so many exceptions, and if this, then that, coaches almost need an on-staff attorney to understand some of this stuff. The have enough to worry about with the players, parents, booster club, and the ISD. LOL!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D [/quote] Well, this is speculation, but my bet is, if the reasoning behind the placement of the students is for the trashing of a computer room as stated above, falls in 37.006 (a)(2)(A) which states: "Sec. 37.006. REMOVAL FOR CERTAIN CONDUCT. (a) A student shall be removed from class and placed in a disciplinary alternative education program as provided by Section 37.008 if the student: (2) commits the following on or within 300 feet of school property, as measured from any point on the school's real property boundary line, or while attending a school-sponsored or school-related activity on or off of school property: (A) engages in conduct punishable as a felony;..." Because that conduct of destruction of property would fall under Sec. 28.03 of the Texas Penal Code which states: "§ 28.03. CRIMINAL MISCHIEF. (a) A person commits an offense if, without the effective consent of the owner: (1) he intentionally or knowingly damages or destroys the tangible property of the owner; (2) he intentionally or knowingly tampers with the tangible property of the owner and causes pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person; or (3) he intentionally or knowingly makes markings, including inscriptions, slogans, drawings, or paintings, on the tangible property of the owner." Such conduct arises to the level of a felony if: "the amount of the pecuniary loss to real property or to tangible personal property is $1,500 or more but less than $20,000 and the damage or destruction is inflicted on a public or private elementary school, secondary school, or institution of higher education." (Tex. Penal Code, Sec. 28.03 (h)) Just as a note, in determining the amount of damage, the Penal Code states: "When more than one item of tangible property, belonging to one or more owners, is damaged, destroyed, or tampered with in violation of this section pursuant to one scheme or continuing course of conduct, the conduct may be considered as one offense, and the amounts of pecuniary loss to property resulting from the damage to, destruction of, or tampering with the property may be aggregated in determining the grade of the offense." (Tex. Penal Code, Sec. 28.03 (e))
