Westbrook ISD board declines to adopt resolution tied to Senate Bill 11 prayer period
Summary
The board voted not to adopt a resolution that would implement a daily prayer period under Senate Bill 11, stating students already have opportunities to pray or read religious texts during the school day. The motion passed unanimously.
The Westbrook ISD Board voted against adopting a resolution that would implement a daily prayer period in response to Senate Bill 11. Board member Ben Muller moved to not adopt such a resolution; board member Jason Morris seconded. The motion carried with all votes "For," and the motion language notes the board "acknowledges that students already have the opportunity to pray or read the Bible during school."
The board therefore declined to pass a local resolution mandating a daily period for prayer or reading religious texts. The transcript records the board's decision and the rationale stated in the motion but does not include public comment or legal analysis presented during the meeting.
