How Central Texas schools are implementing the 10 Commandments
Come September, classrooms will be required to display the 10 Commandments in Texas
TEMPLE, Texas (KWTX) - Several Central Texas school districts are inching closer to the first day of school.
KWTX is tracking new laws put into place in the Lone Star State education system.
Come September, classrooms will be required to display the 10 Commandments. The law states the poster of the commandments must measure at 16 inches and 20 inches tall.
KWTX has been reaching out to the different districts to find out what policies they’ve put in place and how they’re acquiring the materials.
“We proactively got in contact with a group that said they would do a wholesale donation to all 670 classrooms spaces in the district. That way, there’s no this school is behind and doesn’t have it or this school has it in K, one and two but not fourth and fifth grade,” Temple ISD Superintendent Bobby Ott said.
According to Ott, the district’s maintenance department will put together a staging plan for how the commandments will be implemented in classrooms.
In comparison, McGregor ISD Superintendent Dr. Travis Mutscher says they’ve been advised to sit tight and see how the 10 Commandments plays out in court rather than printing posters.
This comes after Louisiana passed the law and the court system overturned it.
