District Seeks Exemptions from State Law
📅 October 26, 2026
The Strategic Planning Committee is discussing a ‘District of Innovation’ plan. These plans allow districts to seek exemptions from state laws, which can impact teacher certification standards, class sizes, and contract rules without direct voter oversight.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Refugio ISD administration before the October 26 meeting. Regarding Item 2, ask for a copy of the proposed ‘District of Innovation Plan’ to be posted online so parents and taxpayers can see which state laws the district wants to be exempt from.
