But it’s not a business, not private, and doesn’t have the authority. And what authority it does have ultimately comes from the legislature.

The authority should be from the citizens, and PubEd is big biz. They may not be a Corp but ISDs can still set policies like dress codes, to include mask, uniforms, whatever. We as citizens have a right not to attend, attend somewhere else or fire those responsible for bad policy

Try finding a dress code policy that has been litigated and the school district won. And public schools can’t force students to wear uniforms for general attendance, and even if they could, a mask is not a uniform.

Not sure if you’ve been in any public school in the last 10 years, but uniform s abound.

I was an ISD trustee for a few years. Masks are not uniforms.

Agree but you can’t see how a board would work that kind of language in? Abbott has given the ISDs the ability to make their own policies in how to deal with this virus. I hate govt mandates as much as you, I don’t think these measures are out of line. People still have a choice

No, most people do not have a choice, and Governor Santa Abbott doesn’t have the power to give ISDs powers not given to them by the legislature.

He’s not “allowing “ it. That’s the way it is. ABC ISD can set their own policies while XYZ ISD can have a completely different one. Everyone certainly has a choice. That’s what a free society is. If u don’t like your circumstances, change them.
