Carroll ISD is aware of concerns regarding an Off-Campus Physical Activities (OCPA) provider and is currently reviewing the situation. The provider in question was utilized by one student during the 2022-23 school year at a parent’s request and, to our knowledge, has not been used by any other CISD students since that time.
At present, participation in OCPA programs has been driven by parent request. When parents request that an outside activity be considered for PE credit, the District has historically allowed that decision to remain at the parent’s discretion.
The following statement can be seen on the OCPA registration packet when students apply for PE credit with an outside entity:
"I understand that the District has no control over the operations or premises of my child’s particular activity. I further understand that my child will not be under the supervision of a District employee but will be under the supervision of a representative of the assigned activity while participating in the activity."
Our Board of Trustees is reviewing internal processes related to OCPA activity approvals and will evaluate how the District should proceed moving forward. The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority, and we take all concerns seriously.
