🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Review Required for District Improvement Plan
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is set to approve the District Improvement Plan, which sets the direction for the entire district. This high-level document can introduce significant policy changes, including DEI initiatives or data-sharing programs, without specific public debate.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The District Improvement Plan is a critical policy document that has not been made public before the vote. Contact the Winona ISD administration and demand the full text be published online for public review before the board takes action.

💰 Impact: Mission Creep on Taxpayer Dime

Undisclosed Library Book Purchase
📅 Scheduled Action
The board plans to approve a purchase of new library books without providing a list for public review. This lack of transparency prevents parents from ensuring the new materials are age-appropriate and educationally sound.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Winona ISD board and request that the list of proposed library books be published for parental review before any vote is taken on the purchase.

💰 Impact: Inappropriate Content for Students
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Review Required for Campus Improvement Plans
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote on new Campus Improvement Plans for all three schools. These plans often contain new curriculum, spending priorities, and social-emotional learning (SEL) programs that are not clearly disclosed on the agenda.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the text of the Campus Improvement Plans. Contact the Winona ISD administration and demand these plans be posted online immediately so parents can review them for hidden SEL or DEI initiatives before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed SEL/DEI Programs
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Changes on Consent Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The board plans to approve “Budget Amendments” as part of a bundled “Consent Agenda” vote, with no details provided. This practice can be used to pass financial changes, such as funding for new programs or consultants, without public discussion or a separate vote.
Response

DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Contact the Winona ISD board and demand the ‘Budget Amendments’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being moved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
