Round Rock, TX and the Round Rock School District

Round Rock, TX: (Apr-16-07) On March 30, 2006, a group of Stony Point High School students left class to march to Round Rock High School as part of a series of nationwide protests against immigration laws. Police issued 209 citations against the students, accusing them of violating the city's youth curfew or disrupting class, leading to the students' and their families filing a federal lawsuit against the city claiming that their rights to free speech and to assemble had been violated. In a mediated settlement reached, the city and the Round Rock School District agreed to pay $91,750 in legal fees and eliminate the incident from students' records. In exchange, the students must attend a three-hour seminar on civics education. The settlement applies only to the 70 students included in the suit against the city and school district.
