Needville Independent School District is a public school district based in unincorporated Fort Bend County, Texas (USA) (with a Needville postal address). [2]
The district has an area of 200 square miles (520 km2). [3] In addition to Needville, the district also serves the town of Fairchilds, a portion of Pleak, [4] and the unincorporated communities of Guy and Long Point.[ citation needed ]
Students from the community of Damon attend Needville High since Damon Independent School District did not have a high school. Damon ISD signed a contract with Needville ISD in 1949 so Damon ISD residents could go to school at Needville High. [3]
In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency. [5]
In 2014, the school suspended a high school student for refusing to stand for the pledge of allegiance. After media attention, the suspension was eventually lifted due to unconstitutionality. [6]
In 2018 the school threatened to suspend students for participating in protests or demonstrations against gun violence in schools, leading constitutional law experts to call the policy a violation of students' First Amendment rights.[ citation needed ]
