Homeschooled students will be allowed to participate in athletics and arts in the Abilene ISD this year. The Wylie ISD board of trustees last year voted in favor of participation by students who do not attend district schools. The WISD is set for another year to accommodate students. The Abilene ISD board at its meeting in July voted 4-3 in favor. Board president Darryl Zeller voted no, saying he was concerned most about adding more burden to the school district and student safety when not in a UIL class.
