District Proposes Massive Student Data Sharing with State Exchange
The district plans to join the ‘Texas Education Exchange,’ a statewide data-sharing platform run by Region 4 ESC. This agreement gives an external entity access to a ‘data warehouse’ of Goose Creek student information for ‘analytics,’ creating a massive privacy risk for our children.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This data-mining operation must be stopped. Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Vote NO on Item 7.B.13. My child’s data is not for sale or for sharing with a statewide database. Parents do not consent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District to Spend $100K on Pre-K Social-Emotional Curriculum
The board is set to approve a $100,000 purchase of ‘Frog Street’ curriculum for Pre-K classrooms. This program is not just about ABCs; the purchase order explicitly includes the ‘Conscious Discipline Manual,’ a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that focuses on emotional management over academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Pull Item 7.B.10 from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion on why we are spending $100K on Pre-K SEL programs like Conscious Discipline instead of focusing on core academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $100,000 (estimated)

District Outsourcing Library Books, Bypassing Parent Review
The district is paying $62,000 to join the Region One Purchasing Cooperative for ‘library services and instructional resources.’ This gives students access to a massive digital library (MackinVIA) and databases curated by an outside group, effectively bypassing our local community’s ability to review and vet inappropriate books.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND LOCAL CONTROL: Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Vote NO on Item 7.B.14. Goose Creek parents, not a regional co-op, should be in charge of what books are in our school libraries. Stop outsourcing our parental rights.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $62,000

$550K Contract for Online Learning Platform Reduces Oversight
The district plans to renew a $550,600 contract with Imagine Learning/Edgenuity for a virtual learning platform. This platform provides ‘asynchronous classes’ for credit recovery and original credit, moving instruction online where it is harder for parents to monitor for biased or ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 7.B.12, what is the public process for reviewing the ideological content within Edgenuity courses before this $550K contract is approved? Parents have a right to know what is being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $550,600.34

Hidden SEL Vendor Found in $1.9M Contracted Services Bundle
Buried in a massive $1.9 million list of ‘Contracted Services’ is ‘Sown To Grow, Inc.’ This company is an SEL vendor that provides software for student ’emotional check-ins’ and data collection on their feelings. This is a backdoor for student emotional surveillance without a transparent curriculum review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Pull Item 7.B.5 from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Why is an SEL surveillance vendor like Sown To Grow hidden in this bundle, and how much are they being paid?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,922,805 (estimated total)

District Adopts ‘Whole Child’ and ‘Equity’ in 5-Year Strategic Plan
The new 5-year Strategic Plan is filled with ideological buzzwords that shift focus from academics to social engineering. The plan centers on ‘Developing the Whole Child’ and promotes ‘equitable access…even when this means differentiating resource allocation,’ which is code for equal outcomes, not equal opportunity.
Recommended Action Plan
CHALLENGE THE LANGUAGE: Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 7.B.3, the Strategic Plan should focus on academic excellence and equal opportunity, not subjective ‘whole child’ metrics and ‘equity’ which leads to social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Shift from Academics

Teacher Training Plan Includes SEL and ‘Trauma-Informed’ Ideology
The district’s Professional Development plan, hidden on the consent agenda, mandates teacher training in ‘Trauma-Informed Care’ and ‘Positive Student Relationships.’ These are common entry points for embedding SEL and other therapeutic theories into the classroom, training teachers to act as counselors instead of educators.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 7.B.2, what specific materials will be used for the ‘Trauma-Informed’ and ‘Positive Relationships’ training? Parents have a right to review these materials to ensure they are free from political ideology.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Teacher Training Time

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve a General Legal Services agreement with the firm Leon, Alcala, Morse & Reynolds, PLLC. The full agreement was not included in the agenda packet, making it impossible to review the terms, scope, or cost of the legal services being approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Legal Fees

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving an agreement with UT Austin for the ‘OnRamps’ dual-credit program. While dual-credit can be beneficial, the content of these college-level courses is not subject to the same local oversight, and the agreement details were not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $22,000 (estimated)

| Major Win (LEVEL 10) |

HUGE WIN: Board to Ban Secret Gender Transitions & DEI Duties
The Board is voting on changes to the Employee Standards of Conduct policy that would explicitly prohibit staff from helping a student socially transition without parental knowledge. The new policy also bans employees from performing or being assigned any ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)’ duties.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT THIS: This is a landmark policy that puts parents back in charge. Show up to thank the Board for protecting our kids and parental rights. Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Thank you for standing with parents. Please vote YES on Item 7.B.17 to ban secret transitions and DEI initiatives.’
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Parental Rights

WIN: Board to Authorize Armed Staff to Protect Students
The Board is voting on a policy change to authorize specific, trained district employees to carry firearms on school grounds. This ‘Guardian’ program is a direct measure to enhance security and provide an immediate response to an active threat, ensuring our children are protected.
How to Lock It In
SHOW UP TO SUPPORT SCHOOL SAFETY: This is a critical step to harden our schools. Email the Board (see district website for contacts) and attend the meeting to say: ‘I support Item 7.B.16. Thank you for prioritizing the safety of our children with the Guardian program.’
✅ Why It Matters: Enhanced Student Safety
