Weimar ISD declines separate SB11 policy, directs documentation

The Weimar ISD Board of Trustees on Feb. 10 adopted a statutory resolution relating to Senate Bill 11, electing not to adopt a distinct local policy at this time. "I move that the Board of Trustees formally consider Senate Bill 11 as required by law and decline to adopt a separate policy or resolution under Senate Bill 11 at this time, affirming that existing state law and district policy sufficiently protect voluntary prayer and religious expression, and directing the Superintendent to document and report the Board’s decision in compliance with statutory requirements," moved April Mikulenka and seconded by Tom Strickland; the board approved the motion unanimously as recorded.
