The board is voting on a data sharing agreement with an entity called ‘Texas College Bridge.’ These agreements can send sensitive student information to third parties without clear, proactive parental consent, creating long-term privacy risks.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the board before Tuesday’s meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Action Item 4, please publish the full data sharing agreement. What specific student data is being shared, and what are the parental opt-out provisions?’

Appointment of New School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) Chair

📅 2026-08-31

The board is appointing a new chair for the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), a committee with significant influence over sensitive health curriculum. The philosophy of the person chosen for this role can directly impact whether parental rights are respected or if controversial materials are introduced to students.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the board to ask for the name and qualifications of the nominee for SHAC Chair in Action Item 11. Ask: ‘What is the nominee’s public position on parental primacy in health and moral education?’

💰 Impact: Politicized Health Curriculum

Board Resolution to Prohibit DEI Duties and Politicized Instruction

📅 2026-08-31

The board is proactively considering a resolution to formally comply with state law prohibiting DEI offices and related political instruction. This action codifies a commitment to academic focus over ideological agendas, protecting both taxpayers and students.

How to Secure It

SECURE THE WIN: Contact the board to express strong support for Action Item 7. A public vote in favor sends a clear message that A+ Academy is focused on education, not activism, setting a standard for other charter schools.
