SONORA ISD board adopts resolution on student religious expression
Summary
The board approved a resolution intended to protect student religious expression, citing existing practices such as moment of silence, Bible class, FCA and meet-at-the-pole events; the vote was unanimous.
SONORA ISD trustees adopted a resolution aimed at protecting students' religious expression after Superintendent Michael Kissire explained the district's current practices and the need for a formal board statement.
Kissire said the district currently observes events and practices such as a moment of silence, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Bible class and "meet at the pole." Cynthia Perez moved to approve the resolution and Mason Martinez seconded; trustees voted unanimously in favor with two members absent. The board did not receive public comment on the item.
The resolution formalizes how the district will treat student religious expression in curricular and extracurricular settings; the board did not alter the text during the meeting.
