Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

District Plan Embeds Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

📅 September 21, 2026

The board will vote to approve the 2026-2027 District Improvement Plan. The plan explicitly includes implementing ‘Social/Emotional Learning (SEL) across all grade levels’ and funds an ‘SEL Curriculum’ from the general fund, diverting taxpayer money from core academics to subjective psychological programming.

Response

Email the Pottsboro ISD Board before the meeting (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item V.B, I oppose using taxpayer funds for SEL curriculum. The District Improvement Plan should focus resources on core academic subjects like reading, math, and science, not subjective emotional programming.’

💰 Impact: Mission Drift on Taxpayer Dime

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

District to Reduce Days for Public Information Requests

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is set to approve a resolution under Consent Agenda Item VI.G that designates 10 specific days per year as ‘nonbusiness days’ for the Texas Public Information Act. This legally-permitted move slows down the public’s ability to get timely information and hold the district accountable.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Pottsboro ISD Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I request that Consent Item VI.G be pulled for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know which board members support reducing transparency by slowing down Public Information Act requests.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
