Clyde CISD to Hold Special Meeting Amid Student Controversy

CLYDE, TX -- Amid growing pushback against the suspension of Trevor Wilkinson for wearing nail polish to school, Clyde CISD has announced it will hold a special school board meeting.

Last week Superintendent Kenny Berry stated no changes will be made to the existing dress code this year.

Wilkinson was sent to in-school suspension after he refused to remove the nail polish. He was told he would remain in ISS until he complied with the dress code.

According to Wilkinson, he's back in the classroom, at least until after the meeting.

Wilkinson earned national attention after he petition went viral. The petition has garnered 132,673 signatures in less than two weeks.

According to the meeting's agenda, the meeting will have a public comment section and then go into a closed session to discuss student discipline and consult with the district's attorney.

The meeting will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Those who wish to participate in the public comment must sign up by 3:00 p.m. and must be physically present.

To sign up for public comment interested parties can add their name to the meeting at the District Administration office or online at clydeisd.org.

Attendance will be limited due to COVID-19 restrictions but will be available via Zoom.
