Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

G.1. Consider Updates to Board Policies FNA (Local) and DGA (Local) Regarding Texas Education Code Section 25.0823(a-1) Description: This agenda item includes the consideration the Board Policies that would need to be revised as the Board voted in last month's meeting to implement the period of prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious text. The Board Policies that would need to be revised are FNA (Local) and DGA (Local), and the required revisions are included in the attached policy drafts for the Board’s consideration. The Board Policies establish that the implementation of the period of prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious text will begin in the 2026-2027 school year. In addition, it is the district’s understanding that the state may be creating documents related to the implementation (such as a model consent form that includes the new language required by the law), and implementation in the 2026-2027 school year will permit the district to review any state-issued documents.
