Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: SANTA FE ISD – Monday, September 21, 2026 [d25b0a16]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming SANTA FE ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Student Mental Health Program May Collect Sensitive Data

📅 Scheduled Action

The district plans to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) for the “Youth Aware of Mental Health” (YAM) program. School-based mental health programs often involve student surveys and data collection that can occur without full parental transparency or a clear opt-out process.

Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Consent Item X.H be pulled for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. Ask the board: ‘What specific data will the YAM program collect on our students, who will have access to it, and what is the parental opt-out process?’
