MACON CO. R-I — Macon R-I Board Meeting Agenda, Wednesday, July 15, 2026.
Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for MACON CO. R-I. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secret Policy Changes Hidden from Public View
Under Item 6.A, the Board is conducting its ‘Yearly Policy Review’ without publishing the specific policies being changed or the proposed new language. This is a major transparency failure that allows the board to alter critical rules on curriculum, parental rights, library books, or student discipline behind closed doors, preventing any public input before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office and demand that Item 6.A be tabled. ‘The public has a right to review the full text of all proposed policy changes at least one week before any vote. Do not vote on secret policies.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of parental oversight and public accountability.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague University Partnership on Fast-Track Vote
Item 5.D is an ‘agreement’ with NWMS University, buried on the Consent Agenda for a quick, no-discussion vote. The district has not provided the contract for public review. These university partnerships can be trojan horses for embedding ideological training for teachers, adopting biased curriculum, or creating student data-sharing pipelines without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Contact the District Office. ‘Pull Item 5.D from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to see the contract and understand what our district is agreeing to with NWMS University.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential for ideological teacher training or student data sharing.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Secret ‘Program Evaluation’ Schedule
The Board is voting to approve a ‘Program Evaluation Schedule’ (Item 6.B) but has not shared the document with the public. This prevents parents from knowing which programs are being evaluated. This could include controversial SEL, DEI, or health-related programs that parents would want to scrutinize, but the district is keeping the list secret.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office. ‘Regarding Item 6.B, please release the full Program Evaluation Schedule to the public before the board votes. Taxpayers have a right to know which programs are being assessed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer funds spent on unvetted or ideological programs without public knowledge.
