Board to Vote on Secret Social Studies Supplemental Curriculum
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote on adopting a new “Supplemental Curriculum” for Middle School Social Studies under item K.2.f. These materials are often used to introduce politically charged topics outside the normal textbook review process, bypassing parental oversight.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Mineola ISD Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item K.2.f, the proposed Social Studies supplemental curriculum must be made available for public review online for at least 30 days before any vote is taken. Parents have a right to see what their children will be taught.’

New Student Counseling Partnership Lacks Public Details
📅 Scheduled Action
The district plans to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with “NextStep Counseling.” Without the text of the agreement, taxpayers cannot know if these services align with community values, involve data collection on students, or introduce Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Mineola ISD Board. ‘Before voting on Item K.2.c, please post the full Memorandum of Understanding with NextStep Counseling on the district website. What services will be provided and what student data, if any, will be shared?’

💰 Impact: Student Data Collection

Vote Scheduled on Undisclosed Budget Amendments
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is scheduled to vote on amendments to the 2026-2027 budget without providing any details to the public. This lack of transparency makes it impossible to know what programs are being cut or what new spending is being approved.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Mineola ISD Board. ‘Regarding Item K.2.i, please provide a detailed summary of all proposed budget amendments and the justification for each before the board takes a vote. Taxpayers deserve to see where their money is going.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Vote on Campus Improvement Plans Without Public Review
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote to approve multiple District and Campus Improvement Plans. These documents often contain district-wide priorities and can be a vehicle for introducing DEI or SEL initiatives without specific curriculum votes. The plans have not been made public with the agenda.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Mineola ISD Board. ‘Please post the full text of all District and Campus Improvement Plans under Item K.2.a online for public review prior to the board meeting.’

💰 Impact: Hidden Policy Changes
