Opt Out of Religious Based Instruction
Beginning in 2030, the TEKS will include mandatory readings of Bible stories and passages as part of the Reading/Language Arts curriculum. Many parents have expressed concern over this and a desire to opt out of such instruction. However, this is not just a distant event. The Bluebonnet curriculum which many districts have adopted voluntarily includes bible-based content. With the pending TEKS implementation, we can expect a further voluntary expansion of Bible related instruction.
This letter notifies the school that the parent is opting out of any religious based instruction. Notice should be given to the classroom teacher for Language Arts and the campus principal.
