District Proposes Paying Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
The district plans to approve a contract with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) for a ‘compensation and staffing analysis.’ Paying TASB for services directly funds their lobbying efforts in Austin, which often work against property tax relief and parental rights.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Item H.4 be pulled for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Taxpayers should not be forced to fund TASB, an organization that lobbies against our interests.’
💰 Impact: Funding Anti-Taxpayer Lobby

Social-Emotional Learning Embedded in District Plan
The proposed 2026-2027 District Improvement Plan calls for ‘Tier 1 SEL integration’ and using the ‘7 Mindsets’ curriculum. This embeds social-emotional learning, which can replace core academics with subjective, non-academic programming, into the district’s official strategy.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Before approving Item I.2, please provide the full 7 Mindsets curriculum for public review and clarify parental opt-out rights for all SEL-related activities.’
💰 Impact: Politicizing the Classroom

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Agenda Item I.3 asks the board to approve the ‘Purchase of Campus Library Books,’ but the list of books is only provided as an external Google Sheets link, not as a permanent part of the public record. This prevents taxpayers from easily reviewing the materials being purchased with their money for school libraries.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the Google Sheets link in the Official Agenda for Item I.3 to see the full book list. Email the Board and demand that any future book purchase lists be included as a permanent PDF attachment to the agenda for public transparency.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Content

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Consent Agenda item H.3 calls for the approval of an ‘Amended Budget,’ but the document detailing the changes is not included in the agenda packet. This makes it impossible for the public to see what financial changes are being made before the vote.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item H.3 to confirm whether it contains significant spending increases or fund transfers. If the document is missing, ask the board to postpone the vote until the budget amendment is made public.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Board to Certify Compliance with State Anti-DEI Law
The Board will vote to formally certify its compliance with state law prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and practices in schools. This is a positive step in ensuring the district remains focused on academics and merit, not divisive ideologies.
How to Secure It
SECURE AND AMPLIFY: Show up to thank the Board for taking a recorded vote on Item I.4 to certify compliance with the state’s DEI ban. Ask them to publicly detail the cost savings achieved by eliminating these programs, as the law requires.
✅ Why It Matters: Upholding Anti-DEI Law
