| PRIORITY (LEVEL 7) |

Policy Text Not Available – Pull Before Vote
The board is scheduled to approve all Campus Improvement Plans (CIPs) for the 2026-2027 school year. The executive summary mentions focusing on parent engagement and instructional expenditures, but the actual plans containing specific strategies, curriculum choices, and parent involvement policies are not attached. These documents are critical for understanding how district-level goals are implemented in classrooms.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Item 8.A is a final vote to approve all Campus Improvement Plans. Retrieve the full text of the CIPs from the official agenda link or via a records request to confirm language on curriculum, parent engagement, and student support frameworks before the vote.

| PRIORITY (LEVEL 7) |
|
Policy Text Not Available – Pull Before Vote
The board will approve state-required Turnaround Plans (TAPs), Targeted Improvement Plans (TIPs), and Local Improvement Plans (LIPs) for low-performing campuses. The summary cites the state’s ‘Effective School Framework (ESF)’ but does not provide the actual plans. These documents dictate intensive interventions and could introduce contested pedagogical or disciplinary models like restorative justice or SEL.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Item 8.B is a final vote on state-mandated improvement plans. Retrieve the full text of the TAPs, TIPs, and LIPs from the official agenda link or via a records request to identify specific instructional, disciplinary, or cultural interventions proposed for these campuses.

District Partners with College to Provide On-Campus Vaccinations
The district is approving a Memorandum of Understanding with Dallas College to provide meningococcal vaccinations to students on campus to help them meet postsecondary enrollment requirements. While facilitating compliance with state law, the provision of medical services on campus by an external partner raises questions about parental notification and consent protocols.
Policy Use
WATCH: Item 7.G approves an MOU for on-campus vaccinations. Request the full MOU text to confirm parental notification and consent procedures, particularly for any participating minors. Monitor for expansion of such health partnerships.
