Hi John,
By March 1, every Texas school district must vote on whether or not to adopt a policy allowing unregulated chaplains to work with and counsel students. Not only do many chaplains lack the proper education and qualifications for this, but their very presence in public schools is an inherent violation of the separation of church and state.
Learn how you can oppose chaplains in schools and fight for the students in your district with our Chaplain Law Toolkit [[link removed]] .

We're helping advocates organize in their community around this policy. If your school district has already voted, reach out to us because our fight isn't over! It's critical that you advocate for policies that would establish minimum standards, require oversight of chaplain practices, and ensure student safety. At a minimum, any program should require training in core competencies commensurate with non-religious professionals engaged in the same work. Together, we can create a strong, unified network of education advocates.
In the fight,
