District to Vote on Secret ‘Vulnerability Assessment’
The board will discuss a ‘District Vulnerability Assessment’ from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) in a closed session, then vote to approve it in public under Item XII. This prevents the public from knowing what vulnerabilities the state has identified in their schools and how the board plans to respond.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Somerville ISD board. ‘Regarding Item XII, the public deserves to see the TEA District Vulnerability Assessment before you vote on it. What is in this report that requires a secret discussion?’
💰 Impact: Secret School Problems

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague ‘Health And Wellness Plan’ Up for Vote
The board is scheduled to approve the 2026 ‘Health And Wellness Plan’ without providing the document to the public ahead of the meeting. These plans can be used to introduce controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs or student data collection without parental knowledge.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Somerville ISD board. ‘Before voting on Item VI.C, please publish the full Health and Wellness Plan online so parents can review it for SEL content and data sharing provisions.’
💰 Impact: Hidden SEL & Data Mining

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Secret ‘Library Material Review List’ on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a ‘Library Material Review List’ as part of the Consent Agenda (Item V.C), which bundles items for a single vote. The list of books being reviewed, added, or removed has not been shared with the public, hiding these decisions from parents.
Response
DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Contact the Somerville ISD board. ‘Pull Item V.C from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion. Parents deserve to see the Library Material Review List before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Secret Book Decisions

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Undisclosed ‘Family Engagement Plan’ on Agenda
The district will vote to approve a ‘Family Engagement Plan’ under Item VI.B, but the plan itself has not been made public. While the title sounds positive, these documents can sometimes be used to redefine the role of parents or introduce ideological concepts.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Somerville ISD board. ‘Please publish the proposed Family Engagement Plan for Item VI.B online for public review prior to the vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
