| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7) |

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Conference
The board is planning its attendance at the TASA/TASB conference under agenda item 3.B. These organizations use public funds to lobby the state legislature, often for policies that increase property taxes and oppose parental rights and educational freedom.
Response
Contact the Harts Bluff ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 3.B, I oppose using our tax dollars to fund travel to TASA/TASB events. These groups lobby against taxpayer interests. Please vote NO on funding this travel.’

Undefined ‘SSSP Team’ on Consent Agenda
The board plans to establish an “SSSP Team” under Consent Agenda item 4.C, which bundles items for a single vote without discussion. The agenda provides no explanation of what this acronym stands for, what the team’s purpose is, or what it will cost taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Harts Bluff ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Item 4.C from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. The public deserves to know what SSSP stands for, what this team’s mission is, and what its budget will be.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Purpose & Cost

Secret Teacher Evaluation Policy Change
Under item 3.G, the board is holding a “First reading” of a policy change titled “DNA Local” concerning teacher evaluations. The actual text of this new policy has not been included in the public agenda, preventing parents and taxpayers from reviewing it before the meeting.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Harts Bluff ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Please publish the full text of the proposed ‘DNA Local’ policy from Item 3.G. The public must be able to review policy changes before they are discussed.’

AI Implementation Without Public Oversight
The district is discussing the use of Artificial Intelligence in schools under item 3.F. Without clear, public policies on data privacy and parental consent, implementing AI could expose student data to third-party vendors and introduce unvetted educational content.

Undisclosed Budget Amendments
