Changes to Teacher Evaluation Policy

📅 2026-08-31

The board is updating the policy for teacher performance appraisals. These policies can be used to insert ideological metrics, such as DEI or SEL-related goals, into how teachers are evaluated, which can shift the focus away from academic excellence.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the proposed changes to policy DNA (Local). Contact the Friona ISD administration (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Please post the full text of the proposed changes to the teacher evaluation policy online before the vote. Parents have a right to know if new ideological metrics are being added to teacher appraisals.’
