How long will it take them to decide on the mask mandates? HISD starts on 8/23, so just wondering if it's possible to be decided by then.

In our ISD they defied the Harris county mandate and sided with the Governor. So if the county wins against the Governor does our school district then have to go to court against the County? It's a mess.
Ummm no. The school board runs the school on behalf of the resident's who elect them.As far as I'm concerned the Superintendent owns the school, he can mandate whatever he wants. Our governor rails against Washington mandating edicts citing states rights then issues one himself denying those same rights. But that's just me.
The governor represents the state of Texas. So it is about state rights.As far as I'm concerned the Superintendent owns the school, he can mandate whatever he wants. Our governor rails against Washington mandating edicts citing states rights then issues one himself denying those same rights. But that's just me.

No, it is the state (you have no school district without a state), it flows down within the state and up to the nation. That is FedereralismAs far as I'm concerned the Superintendent owns the school, he can mandate whatever he wants.

so a school district is just autonomous and does whatever it wants? Seems odd since the state mandates standardized testing etc.As far as I'm concerned the Superintendent owns the school, he can mandate whatever he wants.

In theory yes. In reality, no.Ummm no. The school board runs the school on behalf of the resident's who elect them.
NBCSN - Tottenham / Man City match…nary a mask in the stands. Beautiful.
Umm, Yes. It’s that easy. In fact they don’t even allow through the front door.It really does not matter. Kids are not going to wear the mask. What is the school going to do kick them out?
The regulations governing school districts are state laws passed by the legislature. Districts do not report to the governor's office; Abbott has no authority to mandate anything, and he is setting dangerous precedents by grabbing more power than he actually has under the Texas Constitution. In the past, this issue would have been settled by an Attorney General's opinion, which would be binding on all state and local government agencies, including school districts, until overturned by a court.so a school district is just autonomous and does whatever it wants?

Ha, touché. My kids all play soccer and I got roped into helping coach. Didn’t know a thing about the sport three years ago but have grown to really enjoy it and learned a lot. Adopted the Spurs as my team and actually follow it pretty closely now. Will readily admit it’s out of character for me and none of my buddies back in Texas share my sentiment at all. All good though…I like it.When did a down & dirty, drive-blocking OL like you get into soccer? I mean I remember you sitting at my parents house calling soccer communist.
Ha!. They'll have kids lining up to be first to get kicked out.Hisd has already published their rules. If student won't wear a mask they will be sent home and forced to do online learning.
My post was in response to a post saying a superintendent does whatever he wants wuth his district, which is not correct.The regulations governing school districts are state laws passed by the legislature. Districts do not report to the governor's office; Abbott has no authority to mandate anything, and he is setting dangerous precedents by grabbing more power than he actually has under the Texas Constitution. In the past, this issue would have been settled by an Attorney General's opinion, which would be binding on all state and local government agencies, including school districts, until overturned by a court.
my district at the moment has made it clear they aren't going to require mask, if they are forced to by the countu they may issue a mandate and not really enforce....if they decide to enforce I think they would have a real mess...at our meet the teacher maybe 10% in mask if that...Hisd has already published their rules. If student won't wear a mask they will be sent home and forced to do online learning.
My kids don't care about wearing a mask, if they were told they had to wear to school they wouldnt complain, but that doesn't mean it is a good thing for them. As the parent I know the issues with an elementary school kid wearing a mask all day....they don't.I’ll never understand the whole mask debate. I get the concept of freedom of choice so spare me revisiting that retread of a topic.
I asked my kids what they want to do and they each said they’d like to wear a mask. I don’t personally care if they do or not. Mind you, my kids wore a mask the entirety of last year and it was less than ideal.
So do I have just some awesome resilient kids that can manage masks and straight As?
Wear a mask or don’t but to cry one way or another and think lawsuits, or whatever manifests as a trigger for you when it comes wearing masks, will be something I cannot relate to.
A class action against judges? Brilliant idea…Is there any legal recourse we as parents can use to fight these? Could a class action lawsuit be brought against some of these judges for breaking the governors mandate? What about a recall petition?
I do. See above.So back to the original question- any of you attorney’s or state gov fellas have a timeline guess?
I had never played soccer in my life and didn't know a thing about it. I ended up coaching my son's soccer team for six year and had a blast. The Klein area does a great job of teaching new coaches how to train young kids. Overall, great experience. Having coached, I enjoy watching the game a whole lot more than before.Ha, touché. My kids all play soccer and I got roped into helping coach. Didn’t know a thing about the sport three years ago but have grown to really enjoy it and learned a lot. Adopted the Spurs as my team and actually follow it pretty closely now. Will readily admit it’s out of character for me and none of my buddies back in Texas share my sentiment at all.

They required vaccination or a negative test to get in. Also UK is at 65-70% vaccinated so it’s a much safer environment overallNBCSN - Tottenham / Man City match…nary a mask in the stands. Beautiful.
We are sidetracking the hell out of this thread, but that was a really fun match. Also hate man city. 2nd only to Arsenal
