Raymondville ISD trustees vote to oppose prayer-resolution change, keep voluntary prayer practice
Summary
Trustees voted 6–0 to record a 'no' on a resolution and to continue the district’s current practice of allowing voluntary prayer; motion was made by Javier Longoria and seconded by Leticia T. Guzman.
The board took a recorded vote on agenda item IX.A.2 concerning a resolution related to voluntary prayer. Trustee Javier Longoria moved to vote 'no' on the resolution as printed on the agenda; Trustee Leticia T. Guzman seconded the motion. The motion passed 6–0 (Christie Ambriz absent), recorded in the minutes as the board electing to continue the practice of allowing voluntary prayer without constraints.
The minutes record the procedural move and vote but do not include the text of the proposed resolution or an extended debate in open session. The item had been pulled from the consent agenda earlier by Board President John L. Solis for separate consideration, and trustees acted by recorded roll-call vote to register the board’s position.
