This document provides explanations and interpretations of SBOE rules, UIL Constitution and Contest Rules, and statute. There are numerous interpretations of statue and rules that are continually under review. In some instances, further review of an issue possibly due to additional information or unusual circumstances may result in a modified response, depending on the individual case.
