US EditionAttorney General Paxton Launches Investigations Into Three Texas School Districts over Students Protesting ICE
Attorney General Paxton demands records from three districts amid probes into alleged facilitation of protests and safety lapses during student walkouts, affecting multiple Texas schools.
- On Feb. 16, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced investigations into North East Independent School District, Dallas ISD and Manor ISD, alleging they facilitated student protests and failed to protect students.
- After nationwide demonstrations over immigration enforcement, student-organized walkouts have erupted across Texas and the U.S. following ramped-up immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, with Paxton’s probes following an earlier inquiry into Austin Independent School District.
- Paxton's office is demanding district records on district policies on student leave and excused absences, internal communications and use of public funds, while probing possible legal violations and faculty involvement.
- Public school funding is based largely on average daily attendance, and the Texas Education Agency said districts found to have facilitated walkouts could face state intervention and must discipline students.
- NEISD says it is cooperating and that the probe focuses on a Jan. 29 walkout at Churchill High School, noting students at LEE High School participated on Jan. 27, while TEA issued guidance earlier this month and on Feb. 4 hired an inspector general.
