Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CYPRESS-FAIRBANKS 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 Seeks Exemption from State’s Armed Guard Mandate
The board will vote on a resolution to declare a “Good Cause Exception” to the state law requiring an armed security officer on every campus. This item is on the consent agenda, meaning it could pass without public discussion, and may be discussed in a closed session, hiding the justification from taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on the district website): ‘Item 7.D, the security exception, must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion and a roll-call vote. Don’t weaken school safety behind closed doors.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Student Safety

Vague ‘Strategic Plan’ — Manual Review Required
The board is approving new strategic goals and performance objectives for the upcoming year, but the documents are not attached to the agenda. These plans often introduce ideological priorities like DEI or ESG into district operations under vague, positive-sounding titles.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains hidden ideological goals. Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.E, please ensure the Strategic Plan is focused on academic excellence, not ideological distractions.’
💰 Impact: Mission Drift on Taxpayer Dime

Strong Parental Rights Policy Up for Final Approval
The board is scheduled for a final vote on a comprehensive “Parent Rights and Responsibilities” policy. This policy affirms parental authority, prohibits school staff from assisting in a student’s “social transition,” mandates curriculum transparency, and requires parental consent for sensitive surveys.
How to Secure It
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for strengthening parental rights. Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on the district website): ‘Thank you for your work on Policy FA (Local). Please pass it on second reading to protect students and ensure parents are the primary decision-makers in their children’s education.’
