Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the district Tuesday afternoon for refusing to display donated copies of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, according to a statement released by his office. “These rogue ISD officials and board members blatantly disregarded the will of Texas voters who expect the legal and moral heritage of our state to be displayed in accordance with the law,” Paxton said. “Round Rock ISD and Leander ISD chose to defy a clear statutory mandate, and this lawsuit makes clear that no district may ignore Texas law without consequence.”

In this graphic, a blue and a red figure redraw Texas's boundaries and fight the other political party over congressional districts. Lawmakers passed a new map in August 2025, reshaping representation in Central Texas and sparking controversy over minority voting rights. “I was excited,” senior Omotayo Segun said. “Next year, I'll finally get to vote, but now it feels like my vote won't count as much.

Halloween is coming up, teenagers are going home, dressed up and are getting ready to go to bed.
