On March 14, 2016, the Texas Attorney General released Opinion KP-0069 (2016) on “Whether a school district board of trustees may post on the district website the personal financial statements of board members submitted pursuant to section 11.0641 of the Education Code.”
The summary to the opinion states:
“A court would likely conclude that it is within the discretion of a school board of trustees subject to section 11.0641 of the Education Code to post on the district's website the personal financial statements of member trustees required by that section. Under section 11.0641, a majority of the board of trustees may require the posting of the personal financial statement of an individual trustee over the trustee's objections.”
