Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced investigations into three more Texas school districts, including one in the Austin area.
Along with the North East Independent School District in San Antonio and the Dallas Independent School District, the Manor Independent School District is also named in the investigation, which is looking into allegations that the districts facilitated and failed to keep students safe during various student protests against immigration enforcement.
The investigations were announced following concerns that administration and faculty orchestrated the protests.
“I will not allow Texas schools to become breeding grounds for the radical Left’s open borders agenda,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton. “Let this serve as a warning to any public school official or employee who unlawfully facilitates student participation in protests targeting our heroic law enforcement officers: my office will use every legal tool available to hold you accountable.”
Paxton has demanded that each of the three districts hand over information regarding policies related to allowing students to leave campus, excused absence policies, security protocols, and internal communications.
This follows a similar investigation Paxton recently announced of the Austin Independent School District.
