Midway ISD board declines option to schedule prayer or religious reading under Senate Bill 11
Summary
The board voted unanimously to keep the district's current practice and decline the SB 11 option to set aside time for reading religious texts and prayer on campuses; the motion passed 7–0.
At the Feb. 17 meeting, the Midway ISD Board of Trustees considered whether to adopt an option under Senate Bill 11 to schedule time for reading religious texts and prayer at campuses. Trustee Jonathan Green moved that the district maintain its current practice by declining the SB 11 option; Trustee Colin Witt seconded the motion, and the board voted unanimously in favor (7–0).
The action keeps Midway ISD’s present approach to religious readings and prayer on campus; no changes to campus schedules or required readings were adopted. The board’s recorded vote shows all seven trustees supported maintaining the current practice.
