Sixteen Texas families filed the case against multiple school districts across the state, asserting Senate Bill 10 violates the First Amendment.

The practice has been accepted by public universities across the state. The law has fed a growing industry of families buying condos in cash, holding onto them for a couple years and then selling to the next out-of-state family.

The federal government told Job Corps centers nationwide they were being shut down, but then a federal judge issued a temporary halt. Now that pause could be upended by a recent Supreme Court decision.

The long-awaited vote survived objections from the panel’s most right-leaning Republicans, who criticized the lessons as “un-American woke indoctrination.”

The budget includes roughly $1.6 billion for the district’s general fund, which is used to pay for things like salaries, school maintenance, transportation and utility bills. More than $715 million of that will also be used for Austin ISD’s recapture payment.

The lawsuit says Senate Bill 10 "unconstitutionally pressures students into religious observance, reverence, and adoption of the state's mandated religious scripture."

The directive comes after a court rescinded undocumented students’ eligibility for in-state tuition. It’s unclear what information schools might ask from students and how their immigration data will be protected.

The Republican leader cited concerns about federal funding for the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer program. The decision is a setback for struggling families and anti-hunger advocates.

The publicly elected Board of Trustees said the sudden end of the Texas Dream Act “bypassed the standard legislative process meant to ensure fairness and transparency, and prevented sufficient notice or consideration.” Tens of thousands of students have been impacted.
