Senate Bill 10
Ten Commandments Display Requirement
In 2025, the 89th Texas Legislature passed a law (Senate Bill 10) requiring Texas public schools to display Ten Commandments posters in every classroom. Canutillo ISD did not use taxpayer funds for the Ten Commandments posters. Instead, the district accepted a donation of posters from citizen Jerry Guerra. The law requires Texas school districts to accept donations of posters for display in classrooms.

Legal Challenges to the Law
Several Texas school districts challenged the law through the courts, and despite initial legal stays to SB 10, the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the legality of the bill and allowed the state to implement the law.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has informed school districts that his office will investigate and prosecute school districts that do not meet the requirements under SB 10.
Accordingly, Canutillo ISD is required to post the Ten Commandments in the classrooms upon a donation of posters.
