Each public school district pays annual fees to the non-profit, up to about $11,000 annually. But at least one North Texas school board is cutting ties with it over messaging.
Earlier this year, State Rep. Brian Harrison sent a letter to Texas school board trustees asking them to leave the TASB.
Last week, Carroll ISD approved a resolution of intent to not renew its annual membership with the TASB. Its board president spoke at Monday’s press conference. It says school districts should use the preferred name and gender of transgender students unless specifically prohibited by law. It outlines common transgender terms such as "gender identity."
For example, regarding transgender students using the restroom of their choice, the TASB says "to date, no court with jurisdiction in Texas has issued a final decision that clarifies exactly how a district must respond." It suggests as an initial step, districts should communicate with the student and the student’s parents.
