Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CELINA ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |

District Seeks Exemption from Parent’s Right to Retain Child
Under Action Item 9.A, the board will vote to renew its ‘District of Innovation’ plan. This plan exempts Celina ISD from state laws, including a parent’s right to have their child repeat a grade and the state-mandated 22-student cap for K-4 classrooms, potentially leading to overcrowded classes.
Response
Email the Celina ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the District of Innovation renewal, Item 9.A. Do not weaken parental rights or allow for overcrowded K-4 classrooms. These exemptions serve the administration, not students and parents.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Rights

| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |

Action Item on Taxpayer-Funded Lobby Group TASB
Item 10.A is an action item regarding ‘TASB TxEDCON,’ the conference for the Texas Association of School Boards. TASB is a lobby group that uses local tax dollars to lobby the legislature against taxpayer interests like property tax relief and school choice.
Response
Email the Celina ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.A, vote NO on any spending related to TASB. Our tax dollars should not fund organizations that lobby against parents and taxpayers in Austin.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Costs

Ideological Language Found in Campus Improvement Plan
Hidden in Consent Agenda Item 11.A, the O’Dell Elementary School Improvement Plan commits staff to implement ‘equitable and culturally responsive instructional practices.’ This type of language often serves as a foothold for introducing divisive DEI-related policies into the classroom.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Celina ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Consent Item 11.A for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. What does ‘equitable and culturally responsive instruction’ mean in practice at O’Dell Elementary?’
💰 Impact: Politicizing the Classroom
