Calallen ISD approves Del Mar College dual-credit MOU with disclaimer after public objection
Summary
After a public objection to a sociology dual-credit course, the Calallen ISD board approved a memorandum of understanding with Del Mar College for 2024–25, attaching a content disclaimer; the motion passed 6–1 with one dissent.
The Calallen Independent School District Board of Trustees on Aug. 12 approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Del Mar College to continue dual-credit courses for the 2024–25 school year, adding a disclaimer specific to the Sociology course content. The motion passed 6–1; board member Edward Wells cast the lone dissent.
During the public‑comment period, Ken Weston raised concerns about the Sociology dual‑credit class and "objected to some of the material being taught," prompting board discussion and the addition of the disclaimer to the MOU. Heather Luckenbach moved approval; Lori Jo Walker seconded. The action followed the board's routine consideration of consent and instructional agreements earlier in the meeting.
The MOU was listed among consent and new‑business items the board acted on; the record does not specify the exact language of the added disclaimer. The board approved related instructional and health agreements on the same agenda, including an MOU with the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine for Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT).
