Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming DEVERS ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Vague ‘DEI Compliance’ Vote on Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will hold a public hearing and then vote on an “Annual Certificate of Compliance” related to “DEI and Instructional Requirements (SB 12).” It is unclear if this action certifies the removal of DEI policies, as required by state law, or implements new ones under the cover of compliance.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Devers ISD administration (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask for a copy of the ‘Annual Certificate of Compliance for Senate Bill 12’ for Items IV and IX and ask: ‘Does this certification confirm the district is eliminating DEI, or is it adopting new policies?’

💰 Impact: Politicizing the Classroom

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague ‘Policy Update 127’ Hides Details

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is set to approve a bundle of policy updates (“Policy Update 127”) covering superintendent contracts, financial ethics, and student safety. The actual text of these changes was not included with the agenda, preventing public review before the vote.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Devers ISD administration and demand they publish the full text of the proposed changes in ‘Policy Update 127’ (Item VIII) online before the meeting. Taxpayers deserve to read the fine print before it becomes policy.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
