if I did give that impression I apologize, not trying to heat anything up nor attack anyone.

Kyle, your belief that an Independant school district means that the district is not a governmental agancy is wrong, all independant indicates is that the school disrtict is not dependant upon another taxing agency IE Houston ISD is not dependant nor answerable to the City of Houston. School disticts like MUD's make ordanances and laws, they have Police Departments that are not answerable to any city, county or state law enforcement agency as a dependant police dept. school district in texas are their own taxing entities and govermental agencies just like MUD's and RFPD and ESD, you do know what those are don't you? RFPD's are allowed to make laws concerning Fire Safety regulations such as minimal fire code to require smoke detectors in apartments, fire sprinkler systems in commercial buildings and even new construction homes. In Florida the school districts are tied to County or City Governments and cannot make rules that hold the force of law (IE fighting as a violation) however I know of atleast one district that has made a local law that is infact law that fighting is illegal and the charge is fighting not DC. Florida Schools are normally called as an example Seminole County schools and are controlled by a board of trustee's and the Commissioners Court, any rules that the School District wishes to make have to be approved by the County School Board that is a sub to the Commissioners Court. Before you try and quote the laws that have been superceeded by either other code/law/case law. have a kid and go see the JP.
