How the state rule applies here

Texas statutory requirements and court scope

Display rule
Required
Covered spaces
Each classroom, conspicuous placement
Funding rule
District purchases allowed but not required; public funds are not categorically prohibited
Donation rule
Schools lacking required posters must accept and display compliant privately donated copies

The source above establishes the stated local action only. A legal mandate, a board direction and a received poster are not interchangeable with confirmed classroom completion. The tracker retains the district’s documented rollout language when no later completion record is available.

Direct local answers

Does College Station have donated posters?

Yes. Its official page reports donations for all 19 schools in fall 2025 and distribution to schools.

Is installation complete everywhere?

The reviewed text says posters are being placed as soon as practically possible. It supplies no final installation date or classroom-by-classroom total.

Did the district buy them?

The district says it opted not to use district funds. The statute itself permits purchases but does not compel them.

Why is the record still marked implementing?

A live page can describe an earlier rollout without a completion update. The tracker preserves that source wording and the date checked instead of assuming completion.

What would resolve the remaining gaps

A dated installation inventory, donation acceptance record, board minutes or updated superintendent notice would distinguish planned coverage from completed placement. The record is not labeled noncompliant while those documents remain unlocated.
