Campus Improvement Plans Require Public Scrutiny

📅 September 28, 2026

The board is scheduled to approve the 2026-2027 Campus Improvement Plans. These documents are often where districts embed spending on controversial programs like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI, but the actual plans have not been attached to the public agenda for review.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Mabank ISD administration and demand the Campus Improvement Plans be posted online for public review before the vote on Item 6.C. Ask: ‘Do these plans include new spending on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI-related programs?’

💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Response

Contact the Mabank ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item 6.B, please nominate individuals to the Henderson County Appraisal District Board who have a proven record of defending property owners and promoting fair, transparent appraisals.’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Appraisals
