What happened

The board voted not to adopt a daily prayer and Bible-reading period allowed by Texas Senate Bill 11. A moment of silence and student-led groups continue.

Why it matters to families

Schools will not set aside a daily prayer period under the new state law.

The evidence

At the February 25, 2026 meeting, each trustee present gave a record vote to opt out, as administration had recommended on February 18. Evidence comes from the district's auto-generated YouTube captions, which can garble names and numbers.
