Conroe ISD board rejects resolutions, waits for legal decision on Title IX changes

“I think it’s important that we take a stance just as a district, let the community know that we are standing on the gap to protect the safety of our daughters,” Nelson said during her presentation.

Trustee Datren Williams also presented a resolution that he said would require the board to reject any resolutions that would put students in harm's way.

Williams read his proposed resolution out loud, stating the board would “affirm our commitment to ensure students feel safe, respected and supported in our schools, and stand firm against actions that are political and serve only for those bringing those actions.”

The results

Ultimately, the board voted 5-3 to reject the resolutions from both Nelson and Williams.

Board President Skeeter Hubert said the board would be waiting until a decision is handed down by a higher court, as a federal court issued an injunction against Title IX enforcement in Texas. Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Biden administration in an attempt to block the changes.

“Our stance as a status quo is we are not implementing anything until that has been actually decided, but the lawsuit has not been settled in any state,” Hubbert said. “No state has had a lawsuit determined that it is not legal.”
