Clifton ISD adopts placeholder resolution related to SB 12 (Parental Rights) ahead of policy updates
Summary
The board adopted a TASB-style placeholder resolution related to SB 12 (the Parental Rights Bill) to help meet distribution requirements while model policies are prepared; the district attorney recommended the step, per the superintendent.
Clifton ISD trustees on Sept. 15 adopted a resolution related to SB 12, referred to in the meeting as the Parental Rights Bill, to serve as a placeholder until TASB releases model policies for formal adoption.
Superintendent Andy Ball said SB 12 contains extensive parental rights provisions effective Sept. 1 and that TASB is preparing corresponding policy language. He said TASB's resolution can assist districts with compliance and distribution requirements for employees and contractors; the district attorney recommended adopting the resolution as an interim measure. The transcript records that the board approved the resolution on a motion by Josh Ritzmann, seconded by Steve Conrad, with a unanimous vote.
Ball told trustees the TASB resolution is not mandatory but provides guidance and helps ensure employees and contractors receive required paper and electronic copies of any board-adopted policies related to parental rights, anti-DEI and anti-CRT provisions until TASB policies are available for formal adoption in October.
