WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

New ‘THRIVE’ Curriculum for Mental Health
📅 October 27, 2026
The district plans to approve the ‘TOPS THRIVE Curriculum’ for students in grades 6-12 to comply with a state law on opioid and suicide prevention. While the goal is laudable, some ‘prevention’ and ‘thrive’ curricula can be vehicles for controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) content that parents have not reviewed.
Response

DEMAND TO REVIEW: Contact the District Office before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 11.D, please provide parents with a link to review the full TOPS THRIVE Curriculum before the board votes to approve it. Parents have a right to know what their children will be taught on sensitive topics like mental health.’

💰 Impact: Unvetted SEL Content

Opaque ‘Policy Update 127’ on Final Reading
📅 October 27, 2026
The board is scheduled for a final vote on ‘Policy Update 127,’ which bundles numerous local policy changes. The agenda lists only cryptic codes (e.g., CAA(LOCAL), EHBB(LOCAL)) without providing the actual text, preventing public review before the vote.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Board before Tuesday’s meeting. ‘Please postpone the vote on Item 11.C, Policy Update 127, until the full text of all proposed policy changes is posted for public review. The public cannot provide meaningful input on codes alone.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

📅 October 27, 2026
The board will vote on an unspecified ‘waiver’ for the Community Action Corporation of South Texas. The agenda provides no details on what rights the district is waiving or what this partnership entails for students and taxpayers.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the district office before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 11.B, what is the purpose of the waiver for the Community Action Corporation of South Texas? Please provide the public with the full text of the waiver and the agreement before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Partnership Terms
