📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming EDGEWOOD ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
District to Adopt Student Data Tracking System
📅 2026-09-01
The board will discuss adopting ProUnitas, Inc. to provide a ‘Database Tracking System for Student Non-Instructional Needs.’ These systems often collect sensitive, non-academic data on students, potentially sharing it with third parties without clear, affirmative parental consent.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 5.F, what specific data will ProUnitas collect, who will it be shared with, and what are the parental opt-out rights? This item must be pulled for a separate discussion and recorded vote.’

💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
Lobby Group’s Policies Pushed for Adoption
📅 2026-09-01
Item 5.N calls for a ‘first and final reading’ to adopt policies recommended by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Policy Service. TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobby group that frequently works against property tax relief and parental rights in Austin, and bundling their policies prevents public scrutiny of each individual change.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Item 5.N adopts policies from the TASB lobby group. I demand this bundle be broken up, with each policy change discussed and voted on separately. Taxpayers deserve to know what is in Update 127 before it is approved.’

💰 Impact: Entrenching Lobbyist Influence
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)
Rules May Restrict Public Comment
📅 2026-09-01
The agenda’s public comment rules require citizens to sign up and submit all materials by 5:00 p.m. for a 5:00 p.m. meeting. This policy creates a significant barrier for parents and taxpayers to address the board, effectively requiring them to register and prepare materials before the meeting even begins.
Response

DEMAND CLARITY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Board Policy BED appears to create an unnecessary barrier to public comment. Please clarify the deadline and process to ensure residents can participate fully at the meeting.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
