📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming RED LICK ISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Undisclosed Cost for AI Surveillance System
📅 October 27, 2026
The board is considering approval of ‘ZeroEyes,’ an AI-based video surveillance system that analyzes camera feeds. The cost to taxpayers and the policies governing student data privacy for this system have not been disclosed in the agenda.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Red Lick ISD Board. ‘Regarding Item 6.G, what is the total cost of the ZeroEyes system, including installation and annual fees? Please publish the contract and the district’s data privacy policy for this system before any vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

School Improvement Plans Require Review
📅 October 27, 2026
The board will vote on new district and campus improvement plans. These broad documents can be used to introduce controversial curricula, ‘Social-Emotional Learning’ (SEL) programs, or DEI initiatives without a specific, transparent vote on those topics.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the files for Items 6.B, 6.C, and 6.D attached to the official agenda (linked above). Check for terms like ‘equity,’ ‘social-emotional learning,’ ‘DEI,’ or consultants like Panorama Education before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Mission Drift on Taxpayer Dime
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

School Health Committee Needs Scrutiny
📅 October 27, 2026
The board is approving the School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC). These committees have significant influence over sensitive health and sex education curricula, and parents need to ensure the members represent community values.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Red Lick ISD Board. ‘Before approving the SHAC members under Item 6.E, please publish the list of proposed members and their affiliations for public review. Parents have a right to know who is advising the district on health curriculum.’

💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents on Curriculum
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Spending in Consent Agenda
📅 October 27, 2026
The board is set to approve a ‘Monthly Voucher List’ bundled into the consent agenda. This format can be used to approve payments for controversial vendors or taxpayer-funded lobbying without public discussion or a separate vote.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Red Lick ISD Board. ‘I request that Item 5.A, specifically the Monthly Voucher List, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is being spent before it’s approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Payments
