SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) is weighing whether to adopt the Bluebonnet Learning curriculum<\/a> \u2014 a state-endorsed instructional program for K-5th grade students that has sparked controversy over its ties to religious content.<\/p>\n

SAISD is expected to discuss launching the new curriculum at select schools in a board meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday, according to the district\u2019s board meeting agenda<\/a>. <\/p>\n

KSAT will provide a livestream of the meeting in this article. Delays are possible. If there is not a livestream available, please check back at a later time. <\/p>\n

Districts that choose the curriculum receive $60 per student each year from the state to purchase the instructional materials. The Texas Legislature<\/a> passed the system in 2023.<\/p>\n

According to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), Bluebonnet Learning consists of \u201cstate-developed instructional materials that provide teachers with the tools to foster student success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critics, including First Amendment advocates, argue that the curriculum blurs the line between teaching about religious literature and promoting a religion.<\/p>\n

The TEA, however, maintains there is no religious instruction in the curriculum. <\/p>\n

SAISD shared a transition plan<\/a> in the board meeting agenda\u2019s documents indicating that the district will launch the new curriculum this school year on Aug. 12 at select schools. The board still must approve this change. <\/p>\n
