| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secret Committee Recommending New Library Books
The board is voting to accept recommendations for buying new library books from a ‘School Library Advisory Committee’ (SLAC) under item IX.A.3. The committee’s recommendations and membership are not public, creating a risk that activist-vetted, age-inappropriate material could be approved without parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they table Item IX.A.3. ‘Parents have a right to review the SLAC’s full list of recommended books and the criteria used for selection before any vote on Item IX.A.3. Do not approve a secret book list.’
💰 Impact: Age-Inappropriate Content

Who is Picking the Next Superintendent?
The board is hearing a presentation from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) to potentially hire them as the search firm for the next superintendent. The firm chosen will control the candidate pool, potentially prioritizing administrators with an ‘equity’ or ‘social justice’ focus over academic excellence.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item VII.A.3, parents demand that the selection criteria for the new superintendent prioritize academic achievement and fiscal responsibility, not ideological agendas. The public must be involved in defining the candidate profile before a firm is hired.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Gatekeeping

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
‘Improvement’ Plans Could Hide SEL Mandates
The board is set to approve ‘Targeted Improvement Plans’ for two schools under item IX.A.1. These state-mandated plans for underperforming schools are often used to insert Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) programs instead of focusing on core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The plans for Item IX.A.1 are not attached to the agenda. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Please publish the full Targeted Improvement Plans for Mendez Elementary and San Marcos High School immediately so parents can review them before the Board votes on Item IX.A.1.’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced by SEL

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
School Board Debating Housing Project in Secret
The board is hearing a presentation and holding a closed-door session about a proposed housing project with a private developer, ‘Upward Communities.’ This is a major distraction from the district’s mission to educate children and raises questions about potential financial entanglements and the use of public property.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Show up for public comment. Ask the Board: ‘Why is the school district considering a housing project? How does this serve our students’ academic needs, and why are the details being discussed in secret under Item X.B?’
💰 Impact: Mission Creep & Financial Risk
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Fentanyl Awareness Program – What’s in the Curriculum?
The board will approve a ‘Fentanyl Education Support Training and Awareness’ program. While fentanyl is a serious danger, parents must be able to review the specific curriculum to ensure it is age-appropriate and free of other ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
REQUEST REVIEW: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item IX.C.1, please provide a link to the full curriculum for the Fentanyl Education program so parents can review it before the Board votes.’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Curriculum
