Student Mental Health Data Program on Consent Agenda
The district plans to approve a Memorandum of Understanding for the Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT) program. While presented as a health initiative, these programs can involve sensitive student data collection and mental health interventions with unclear parental consent and opt-out procedures.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Sweeny ISD board. ‘Pull Item 11.K from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. The TCHATT MOU must be made public and discussed openly before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting

Health Curriculum Council Appointments
The board is appointing members to the Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC). This council has significant influence over sensitive health and sex education curriculum, making the selection of its members a critical issue for parental rights.
Response
ATTEND & SCRUTINIZE: Show up to the meeting to see who is being appointed to the SHAC. Parents must ensure these appointees reflect community values, not activist agendas.
💰 Impact: Curriculum Influence

Vague Policy Change — Manual Review Required
The board is set to consider changes to ‘Policy CFB(Local)’ without providing the text of the proposed changes to the public. This policy code often relates to accounting and financial controls, meaning this item could alter how the district handles taxpayer money in the dark.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office. ‘Regarding Item 13.B, the public cannot provide input on a policy change they cannot see. Please publish the full text of the proposed changes to Policy CFB(Local) immediately.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Financial Transparency

Taxpayer-Funded Legal Retainer Renewal
The district is renewing its membership in the Walsh Gallegos legal retainer program. Taxpayers are being asked to fund a law firm that often advises school districts on how to navigate legal challenges from parents and taxpayers, effectively using public money to oppose public oversight.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Sweeny ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 13.F, what is the total annual cost of the Walsh Gallegos retainer? Taxpayers deserve to know how much is being spent on outside legal counsel before this is renewed.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Legal Fees
