Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: LUBBOCK ISD – Thursday, September 24, 2026 [80f0e054]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming LUBBOCK ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

District Adopting Policy from Austin Lobby Group

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is scheduled to approve a bundle of policy revisions written by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is a taxpayer-funded association that lobbies the legislature, often against the interests of parents and taxpayers. Adopting their policy updates wholesale outsources local control to an external group without item-by-item public review.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Lubbock ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item IX.A, I demand that the TASB Update 127 policy changes be discussed and voted on individually, not as a single package. Taxpayers deserve to know what specific changes are being made and where each trustee stands.’

💰 Impact: Outsourced Policy-Making

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Major Win (LEVEL 8)

District Certifies Compliance with State DEI Ban

📅 Scheduled Action

The Board is formally certifying its compliance with state law (SB 12) that prohibits Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and activities in public schools. The district has updated local policies to make engaging in DEI a fireable offense for employees and a reason for contract termination for vendors, ensuring the focus remains on academics.

How to Secure It

SECURE THE WIN: Show up to the meeting or email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Thank you for your work on Item IX.D to certify compliance with the state’s DEI ban. We support holding the administration accountable for enforcing these new policies to protect our schools from ideological distractions.’

✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Protection
