RRISD declines dedicated prayer time Round Rock ISD trustees voted not to create a daily period of prayer in its schools at a Feb. 19 board meeting. The vote is required by statute in Sen- ate Bill 11, passed in the 89th Texas Legisla- ture, with a deadline of March 1. The details The district has policies in place allowing students to silently pray, meditate, organize prayer groups or clubs, as well as express their religious viewpoints in their assignments, said Cindy Hill, RRISD’s general counsel. The context SB 11 requires policies be inclusive of all faiths and students participating in a period of prayer during the school day are only able to do so with parental consent.
Round Rock ISD ocials, administrators and representatives of Marathon Health celebrated the district’s employee health clinic with a ribbon-cutting the day before it opened to employees.
