Student Parking Guidelines

Overview

Students who operate or park a motor vehicle on Duncanville ISD School campuses and/or facilities are required to have a valid parking decal properly affixed to the vehicle. The person to whom a parking decal is issued has a non-transferable decal.

The Duncanville ISD Police Department and/or their designee is given the responsibility of enforcing policy/procedures that provide a safe campus environment for our students and employees. To aid in this process, the Duncanville ISD Police Officers are licensed by the State of Texas and are granted all the powers of a peace officer. The jurisdiction of these officers is both on and off school property within the boundaries of the Duncanville Independent School District. The jurisdiction of these officers may be extended to any school-sponsored event, which may take place outside the boundaries of Duncanville ISD. Citations, arrest, and/or other legal action may be taken for any violation of federal law, state law, and/or city ordinances. According to the Texas Education Code section 37.102 (b) all laws regulating traffic on highways and streets apply to the operation of vehicles within the school property. The following regulations and guidelines were established by the Duncanville ISD Board of Trustees in the effort to maintain a fair and impartial system for the enforcement of parking and traffic regulations on Duncanville ISD school campuses and facilities.

The privilege of parking a vehicle on campus may be taken away for violations pertaining to inappropriate behavior or parking violations. Upon arriving at school, students must immediately vacate their car and the parking lot and enter the school building. Students in the parking lot during the day without a pass will be subject to disciplinary action. Persons, including enrolled students of any school of this district, who are not authorized to be on school grounds after school hours, may be charged with trespass on school grounds in accordance with section 37.107 of the Education Code.

Any person who obtains a parking decal agrees to surrender the decal to any Duncanville ISD police officer and/or designee immediately upon request.
