Summary
Superintendent Maloney told trustees the district was named with other districts in a class action tied to Senate Bill 10 and outlined plans under SB8 and SB13; the December book list required by SB13 will be posted for 30 days and returned for board action in January.
Superintendent Paige Maloney provided the board with an update on legislative developments from the 89th Texas Legislature and how the district plans to comply.
She summarized three bills the district has been tracking: Senate Bill 8 (locker‑room signage and temporary space rules), Senate Bill 10 (requiring display of donated Ten Commandments posters) and Senate Bill 13 (new board‑approval and public‑review rules for certain library materials). Maloney said the district and 15 others were named in a class action lawsuit related to SB10 on Dec. 2, 2025; legal processes are underway and the district will follow required steps as guidance develops.
On SB13, staff presented a December library book recommendation list that must remain in public view for 30 days; the list has been posted to the district website and will return to the board for action in January after the public review period.
Trustees asked about the timing of agency guidance and potential policy updates; Maloney said the bulk of policy work will occur in January through the policy committee and that the district is monitoring agency guidance for implementation details.
