📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming RIVIERA ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) Formation
📅 Scheduled Action
The district is creating its School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). While required by state law, this council has significant influence over sensitive health and human sexuality curriculum, and its recommendations can bypass parental values if not monitored closely by the community.
Response

PARENTS, VOLUNTEER NOW: Contact the Riviera ISD office to ask how you can apply to serve on the new School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) being formed under Item 7.F. It is critical that parents have a majority voice on this council to ensure the curriculum reflects community values.

💰 Impact: Controversial Health Curriculum
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Potential for SEL Program Implementation
📅 Scheduled Action
The district is establishing a “Safe and Supportive School Program Team” as required by state law. While the goal is student safety, these teams can become vehicles for implementing controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curricula or student surveys without full parental transparency.
Response

ASK FOR TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Riviera ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 7.E, I support student safety, but I ask the board to commit that the new Safe and Supportive School Program Team will operate with full transparency, make all curriculum and survey materials public, and require active parental consent for any student participation.’

💰 Impact: Politicized Classroom Content
