Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for LEANDER ISD. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New Student Surveillance System Proposed
The district plans to roll out a ‘Comprehensive Student Data System’ from a vendor called ‘Abre’. This system will give teachers ‘real-time, disaggregated’ data on students, tracking academic progress across seven years of test scores and daily class performance.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the Abre data system in Item 9.A.1, who owns the student data collected? Provide the district’s data privacy agreement with Abre and the specific opt-out form for parents before any implementation.’

Police Plan ‘Early Intervention’ with ‘Behavioral Health Partners’
The district police department’s goals include expanding collaboration with ‘behavioral health partners’ for ‘early intervention’ to address student concerns before they escalate. This creates a pathway for mental health surveillance and intervention at school, potentially without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the police department goals in Item 9.A.1, what specific parental notification and consent policies govern ‘early intervention’ with behavioral health partners? Parents must be the primary decision-makers for their child’s mental health.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving members to the School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), which has significant influence over health and sex-ed curriculum. The list of recommended members was 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. If the list is still missing, email the Board: ‘We demand the vote on SHAC members (Item 7.C) be postponed until the public has at least one week to review the names and qualifications of the proposed candidates.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Committee Members

Board to Approve $2.4M Deficit Increase
The board is being asked to approve a budget amendment that increases the general fund deficit by $2.4 million. This is attributed to ‘rolled purchase orders’ from the previous year, a vague explanation for a significant budget shortfall.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Before approving Budget Amendment #2 (Item 9.C.2), please provide a detailed, itemized list of the $2.4 million in ‘rolled purchase orders.’ Why weren’t these expenses accounted for in the prior year’s budget?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2.4M Deficit Increase

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
SEL Language Hidden in Juvenile Justice Agreement
Buried on the consent agenda in a 23-page legal agreement for handling expelled students is a requirement to create plans addressing their ’emotional’ and ‘social’ needs. This is a classic backdoor for introducing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts into programs for at-risk students, bypassing normal curriculum review.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Item 7.B from the Consent Agenda. What specific SEL curriculum will be used to address ’emotional and social needs’ in the JJAEP program, and how can parents review it?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Mission Creep

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Prepares for Tax Increase Election
The board is reviewing a state-mandated ‘efficiency audit,’ which is a required first step before the district can hold a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE). This is a clear signal that the district is preparing to ask taxpayers for more money.
Recommended Action Plan
PAY ATTENTION: The district is laying the groundwork to raise your property taxes. Scrutinize all spending and demand the board make significant cuts before asking taxpayers for another dime.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Future Tax Increase
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Delegate to be Appointed
The board is appointing a delegate to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) assembly. TASB is a powerful lobbying group that often uses our tax dollars to advocate for policies in Austin that undermine parental rights and local control.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Find out who is appointed as the delegate for Item 9.B.2. Email that board member and ask them to publicly commit to voting against any TASB legislative priorities that weaken parental rights or promote ideological agendas.

District Adopts State’s Anti-DEI Law
The board is voting to certify compliance with SB 12, the state law that prohibits Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and initiatives. This action writes the DEI ban into local policy and makes it a fireable offense for staff to violate it.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board for upholding state law and protecting our schools from divisive DEI ideology. This creates a strong local precedent we must defend and amplify for other districts to copy.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Academics
