LCISD Ag Barns

The purpose of the Lamar CISD Ag Barns is to provide a safe location to raise animal projects for curriculum enhancement, to assist meeting state-mandated Supervised Agriculture Experience Program (SAEP) requirements, and for FFA project competitions. These experiences consist of time spent at the ag barn, as well as classroom instruction. This arrangement requires significant collaboration between the LCISD administrators, FFA advisors, the Ag Barn manager, student members, and parents.

Each student is subject to the Lamar CISD Student Code of Conduct while at the district facility or where an LCISD FFA student represents the FFA or Lamar CISD.  Failure to abide by this policy at the Ag barn, livestock exhibition, or where their LCISD FFA chapter has a vested interest, will result in consequences as outlined in the LCISD Student Code of Conduct.

Your patience and continued positive attitude is vital as we all work together in making this a safe, productive, and enjoyable learning experience.

• Eligible livestock species for each barn entry period will be determined by the FFA Chapter Advisor leadership and program direction in accordance with district policy and procedure.
• Required Barn Clean up days (deep cleaning) will be held after the Fall County Show (October: completed within 2 weeks of the end of FBCF) and the Spring Major show (April: completed within the first 2 weeks) seasons. These dates will be determined by the Lead Ag teachers and Barn Manager who will work within the logistics of new project move in and validation deadlines. Dates will be shared at least 3 weeks in advance.
• Keycard distribution and stall assignments will be released beginning as early as 7 business days of the required barn clean ups (Oct.& April) or as early as 7 business days of the district’s deadline for receipt of Forms, Deposits and Fees (Nov. & Feb.). Priority placement will be given to species based upon tag-in and validation dates.
