This past summer, two patrons contacted me regarding their concerns with baccalaureate services at GCISD. At that time we began an administrative review of their concern as well as our legal responsibilities. Subsequent to that, we received a letter from the litigation counsel of the Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The letter cited the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment as well as several Supreme Court cases that prohibit the district from sponsoring a religious baccalaureate service. The attorney requested that the district comply with the Constitutional requirements to avoid legal action.

An administrative review was conducted of the legal issues associated with baccalaureate services. As we investigated the law and applicable interpretations, we found that in order to avoid constitutional problems by violating the establishment clause, GCISD should not participate in baccalaureate ceremonies which are sponsored or appear to be school sponsored, held on campus, and are pervasively religious in nature. While it could be argued that our ceremony did not constitute a religious service, it did not make sense to me to use limited district funds or time to pursue the legality of this issue.

I am very appreciative of the support by various community churches and organizations, who this past week have expressed interest in sponsoring or hosting a ceremony. As a result of these generous offers by groups to assume a leadership role in planning baccalaureate, I am confident that the tradition of baccalaureate services will continue in our community.
