The Roscoe Collegiate ISD Board of Trustees voted on Feb. 16 to decline adopting a resolution to participate in the daily period of prayer authorized by Senate Bill 11. Trustee Drew Moses made the motion to decline the resolution, and Trustee Eloy Herrera seconded; the motion carried 6–0 with Trustee Jason Freeman absent.
Trustee Drew Moses introduced the motion, saying, "Motion to decline to adopt a resolution to participate in the daily period of prayer as authorized by Senate Bill 11." The vote concluded the board’s consideration of the item during the action items portion of the agenda. The board record shows no accompanying amendment or conditional language tied to the motion.
The decision was taken during the formal action phase of the meeting after the board had already completed consent and audit items.
