Texas Attorney General Paxton has not given up his fight against San Antonio ISD.
for employees, with a few exemptions allowed due to disability or religious reasons. The ruling came after the Texas Supreme Court temporarily halted enforcement of the district’s vaccine mandate last October after Paxton sued the school district for violating Gov. Greg Abbott’s Executive Order GA-39, which prohibits government entities from mandating COVID-19 vaccinations.
“The school district’s ability to provide for the health and safety of its staff and students is essential, and this court ruling makes clear that the Governor may not override the school district’s statutory authority,” Short said. The appeals court’s ruling confirmed that executive orders at the state level are neither superior or inferior to a local order saying, “we again conclude that the Governor does not possess absolute authority under the Texas Disaster Act to preempt orders issued by governmental entities and officials.”
The court also affirmed that the district’s vaccine mandate did not violate Section 418.018 of the Texas Disaster Act, which states that the governor may control ingress and egress to and from a disaster area, so Abbott’s Executive Order“... nothing in the District’s vaccine mandate precludes individuals from entering the schools within the district because they are not vaccinated.
