Lobbyist-Authored Policies Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve ‘TASB update 127,’ a package of policy changes from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), a taxpayer-funded lobbying group. This item is on the consent agenda, designed to pass without discussion, and the actual policy text was not provided in the public meeting documents.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Anahuac ISD Board. ‘Pull Item IX.C.6 from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion and a roll-call vote. The public has a right to know what policy changes TASB is pushing on our district before you approve them.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

District Goals Prioritize ‘Diversity,’ Use Lobbyist Data
The district’s proposed 2026-2027 goals include a focus on hiring a ‘diverse staff’ and using a salary study from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). This signals a shift toward ideological hiring criteria and reliance on a lobbying organization that often works against taxpayer interests.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Anahuac ISD Board. ‘Regarding the proposed Board Goals, what is the cost of the TASB salary study? Taxpayers expect the district to hire the most qualified staff, not focus on ‘diversity’ as a primary goal.’
💰 Impact: Entanglement with Lobbyists

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Confirmed in Primary School
The Anahuac Primary School principal’s monthly report explicitly states, ‘We are also teaching them social skills and SEL.’ Social-Emotional Learning programs can be a vehicle for introducing political ideologies into the classroom, taking time and resources away from core subjects like reading and math.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Anahuac ISD Board. ‘What specific SEL curriculum is being used at the Primary School, what is the cost, and how can parents review all materials and opt their children out of these lessons?’
💰 Impact: Politicizing the Classroom

Taxpayer-Funded Repairs for Superintendent’s House
The board plans to approve a repair bid for the superintendent’s house on the consent agenda, which is typically for non-controversial items and passed without discussion. The documents detailing the cost and nature of the taxpayer-funded repairs were not provided to the public.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Anahuac ISD Board. ‘Pull Consent Item IX.C.5 for a separate discussion and vote. Taxpayers deserve to see the cost and justification for repairs to the superintendent’s house before approval.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
