Judge halts Carroll ISD’s diversity plan after opponents win temporary restraining order
The interim superintendent of the Southlake district says the move aims to ‘derail this important work’
A plan to make the Southlake Carroll school district more inclusive to students of color is tied up in a contentious legal battle after a Tarrant County judge granted a restraining order to stop leaders from moving forward.
The temporary restraining order, granted earlier this week, stems from a lawsuit claiming the board violated the Texas Open Meetings Act in connection to the cultural competence action plan by holding “secret deliberations” on the proposals. The suit, filed by a Southlake parent, includes screenshots of text messages between board members.
“Their secret deliberations, evidenced by the text messages, are about official Board business and occurred outside of a properly noticed meeting,” it alleges.
The judge’s order states that the documents filed to the court lead them to believe that the district intends to rush the plan forward and implement it “in the very near future.”
