ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON SUES SAN ANTONIO ISD FOR EMPLOYEE VACCINE MANDATE

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton

AUSTIN (ValleyCentral) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed for a temporary restraining order on Friday, against San Antonio ISD and Superintendent Pedro Martinez for its recent staff vaccine mandate.

Paxton stated that the district “refused” to follow Gov. Greg Abbott’s Executive Order GA-38 which prohibits mask and vaccine mandates.

“The Texas Legislature gave the Governor the authority to create and enforce executive orders during a statewide emergency – not a hodgepodge of county judges, city mayors or superintendents. If other governmental entities continue to blatantly disregard state law, I will sue every single one of them,” Attorney General Paxton said in a statement.
