Teachers Group Seeks Temporary Injunction Against Home Rule in DISD

The Dallas Independent School District's battle to select members for a home-rule commission continues Wednesday, this time inside district court.

A Dallas County district judge could issue a temporary injunction Wednesday, giving a Dallas teacher's group time to review the nominations to the commission that will write the new charter for DISD.

According to The Dallas Morning News, Alliance-AFT won a temporary restraining order on Friday. The teachers group claims the process to appoint the home-rule charter commission violates state law which requires committee members be elected not appointed as those in DISD were.
