Lockhart ISD board recommends declining to adopt SB 11 daily-prayer policy
Summary
On the SB 11 item concerning a daily period of prayer and reading of religious texts under Texas Education Code 25.0823, the board voted 7-0 to recommend declining adoption of a resolution and policy implementing the daily period.
The board considered an item related to Senate Bill 11 and Texas Education Code Section 25.0823, which requires a record vote by March 1, 2026 on whether to adopt a policy requiring campuses to provide a daily period of prayer and reading of religious text. Trustee Dr. Barbara Sanchez moved that the board recommend declining to adopt a resolution and policy establishing such a designated daily period; Trustee Tom Guyton seconded and the motion passed 7-0.
The minutes also include the model resolution language required by the statute (included in the packet text in the minutes). The board’s action as recorded in open session was to recommend against adopting a district-level resolution and policy; the minutes do not record further debate or public comment on the item.
