ALERT (LEVEL 8)
School District Considers Closing Police Department
📅 October 12, 2026
The board will vote on a proposal to completely close the Springlake-Earth ISD police department. This is a major policy shift with significant consequences for student safety, campus security, and district liability, and the agenda provides no details on the replacement plan or financial impact.
Response

DEMAND A PUBLIC HEARING: This is a major decision affecting every student. Contact the Springlake-Earth ISD board and demand a detailed presentation on the safety plan and financial analysis for closing the police department before any vote is taken on this item under ‘New Business’.

💰 Impact: Potential Safety Gaps

Vague ‘District Improvement Plan’ Up for Vote
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve the 2026-27 District Improvement Plan (DIP) without the document being attached for public review. These plans can be used to introduce controversial curricula, data collection programs, or spending priorities tied to federal grants with little transparency.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The District Improvement Plan is not attached to the public agenda. Contact the Springlake-Earth ISD administration and demand the full text of the 2026-27 DIP be posted online for public review before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Hidden Curricula

Undisclosed Procurement and Conduct Plan
📅 October 12, 2026
The board will vote on the district’s procurement and code of conduct plan, but the text of the plan has not been made public. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from verifying whether the district is prioritizing best value or introducing political criteria, like ESG scoring, for selecting vendors.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: The Procurement and Code of Conduct plan is not attached. Contact the Springlake-Earth ISD board and ask for the full plan to be published online to ensure it contains no ESG scoring and prioritizes fiduciary duty to taxpayers.

💰 Impact: Politically-Screened Vendors
