Vague ‘Community Engagement’ Strategy Session
📅 Scheduled Action
A TEA director is coaching the board on ‘community engagement.’ This vague term is often used to introduce curated feedback sessions or partnerships that can sideline the concerns of everyday parents and taxpayers in favor of special interest groups.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the La Joya ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask what specific ‘community engagement’ models are being presented in Item 4.2. Taxpayers should know if this is about genuine listening or about managing public opinion for a pre-set agenda.

💰 Impact: Manufacturing Consent

State Agency ‘Coaching’ on Student Outcomes
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is receiving ‘coaching’ from a Texas Education Agency (TEA) director on ‘Evaluating and Improving Student Outcomes.’ While this could be routine, such sessions can introduce state-level priorities or ideological frameworks that may not align with local parent and taxpayer values.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the La Joya ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask for the presentation materials from Ms. Barnes to be posted publicly. Taxpayers deserve to see what frameworks and priorities the state is coaching their elected officials to adopt regarding Item 4.1.
