Winnsboro ISD trustees decline to require daily campus prayer under state code
Summary
The board voted to decline adoption of a policy that would require every campus to provide a period of prayer and Bible or other religious text reading as described in Section 25.0823 of the Texas Education Code.
The Winnsboro ISD Board of Trustees voted to decline adopting a policy that would require every campus to provide a period of prayer and the reading of the Bible or other religious text under Section 25.0823 of the Texas Education Code.
The motion (Green, Busby) to decline adoption was carried 6 - 0 in the minutes. The public minutes do not record extended debate or the reasons trustees cited for declining to adopt the policy.
The action means the district will not adopt a districtwide policy imposing that specific daily period; local campus practices or individual staff actions are governed by state law and existing district policy where applicable.
