Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for MELISSA ISD. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Opting Out of Armed Officer Mandate
The Board is voting to renew a “Good Cause Exception,” exempting them from the state law that requires an armed security officer at every campus. They are citing a “lack of available funding” as the reason for not complying with this critical safety mandate.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical safety issue. Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Our children’s safety is non-negotiable. Do not approve the ‘Good Cause Exception’ for armed officers. Fully fund security at every campus as required by state law, or explain to parents which schools will be left unprotected.’

Multiple Hidden Policy Updates on Consent Agenda
The board plans to pass a bundle of nine local policy updates (127 BJCF, CAA, DC, DH, DP, DPA, DPB, EHBB, FFF) under the “Consent Agenda,” which means they can be approved with no public discussion. The actual text of these policies is not included in the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘I demand the ‘local policy update 127′ bundle be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what is in these policies before you vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Student Code of Conduct
The board is voting to approve the 2026-2027 Student Code of Conduct and Student Handbook. These documents often contain critical policies on discipline, gender identity, and student rights, but the full text has not been provided for parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. This document is critical. Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘The Student Code of Conduct must be public before approval. We will not accept hidden changes to discipline or gender policies.’

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Policies
The board is scheduled to approve changes to “LOCAL Policy FDA and LOCAL Policy DEAB.” The agenda provides no text or summary of what these policies are or what changes are being made, preventing any public review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘What changes are being made to policies FDA and DEAB? Post the full text for public review before any vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Directors Attending Social Studies Conference
The district is sending Teaching and Learning Directors to an out-of-state conference for “Social Studies Weekly.” This curriculum provider has been flagged in other districts for embedding political and social agendas into its materials.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding the Social Studies Weekly conference, what is the total cost, and will any materials from this vendor be considered for adoption in our district? Parents expect a focus on history, not activism.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
District Raising Taxes for Operations
The Board is voting on a new budget that will “raise more taxes for maintenance and operations than last year’s tax rate.” While the district claims the rate will decrease taxes on a $100k home, the overall tax levy for operations is increasing.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Be aware that the district’s operational spending is increasing, resulting in a higher overall tax collection from the community. No immediate action required, but track for future spending priorities.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Higher Property Taxes
