Celina Independent School District in Texas will no longer permit coaches to participate in prayer circles with students. Staff Attorney Sam Grover sent a letter to the district Nov. 13, describing a local complainant’s report of widespread coach participation in prayer circles.
An attorney for the district responded Nov. 25 to say that the district would discuss participation in prayer with staff and “provide training to ensure that employees do not participate in student-led prayer at any school-sponsored events in the future.”
