The top local stories this evening from KERA News:
A classroom that’s used as a prayer room at Liberty High School in Frisco got the attention of the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office last week. The office sent a letter raising constitutional concerns, while the Frisco superintendent calls the letter a publicity stunt.
As KERA’s Stella Chavez reports, prayer rooms are just one way public schools in Frisco and across Texas accommodate students and religion.
