We reviewed the upcoming agenda for REG 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER and found 4 items with policy significance ahead of the vote.
| PRIORITY (LEVEL 7) |
|
Approval of Undisclosed Purchases Over $100,000
The board will vote to approve or ratify a list of budgeted purchases, each aggregating $100,000 or more. The agenda does not specify the vendors, products, or services being purchased, potentially obscuring spending on consultants, training, or programs related to contested ideologies.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Before the vote on Item 4.B.1, retrieve the list of procured purchases. Analyze for spending on DEI/SEL consultants, programs, or other ideologically aligned vendors.
Policy Lever: Undisclosed Contracts >$100K

| WATCH (LEVEL 6) |

Staffing Contracts for ‘Texas Education Exchange’ Data Initiative
The board will approve contracts with K-Force and Roth Staffing for software development and other staffing for the ‘Texas Education Exchange’. This appears to be a student data-sharing or integration initiative, raising potential policy questions about student privacy and parental consent.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Request the full contract proposals for Items 4.C.6 and 4.C.9. Research the ‘Texas Education Exchange’ to determine its purpose, the data it collects, and what parental consent policies apply.
Policy Lever: Student Data System Staffing

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Interlocal Agreement for ‘Customized Products’
The board will approve an interlocal agreement with Spring ISD for ‘Standard and Customized Products and Services.’ The lack of specificity could conceal the provision of services related to SEL, DEI, or other ideologically-driven curriculum or training.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Request the full text of the Interlocal Agreement under Item 4.B.2 to identify the specific ‘products and services’ being provided to Spring ISD.
Policy Lever: Interlocal Service Agreement

|
Undisclosed Budget Amendments on Consent Agenda
The board will approve unspecified budget amendments as part of the consent agenda. This process limits public scrutiny and could be used to fund programs or positions related to DEI, SEL, or other contested initiatives without a separate vote.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Request the budget amendment details for Item 3.B.1 from the consent agenda. Review for any reallocations or new spending that aligns with policy areas of concern.
Policy Lever: Undisclosed Budget Changes
