Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for ROUND ROCK ISD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
First Reading of Secret TASB Policy Changes
Item H5 is the ‘First Reading of TASB Policy Update 127.’ Policy updates from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) are often where radical changes to parental rights, gender policy, and curriculum are introduced. The district has not provided the text of these proposed policy changes for public review prior to the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is how they sneak in policies on gender support plans and curriculum secrecy. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the full text of TASB Policy Update 127 under Item H5 be posted publicly immediately. Tell the Board: ‘We will not accept a vote on secret policies. Table Item H5 until parents have had at least 30 days to review the language.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Rights

Dozens of ‘Improvement Plans’ on Consent Agenda, Details Hidden
Item G7 on the consent agenda asks for blanket approval of dozens of individual ‘Campus/Local and District Improvement Plans.’ These plans often contain controversial Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI initiatives that are not disclosed in the agenda title. The district has not made the content of these numerous plans easily accessible for review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item G7 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain SEL, DEI, or other ideological programs. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item G7 from the consent agenda. Parents deserve a full presentation and public discussion on the contents of these school improvement plans before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Hidden SEL/DEI Programs

District Expands Student Screen Time with ‘i-Ready’ Software
The Superintendent’s report (Item F1) confirms the district has moved to the ‘i-Ready’ online diagnostic tool to measure K-2 math progress. This software generates ‘individualized instructional pathways,’ which means more screen time for your child, often replacing direct teacher instruction and peer interaction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board: ‘Before any further expansion of i-Ready, please provide parents with independent, third-party evidence that this software produces academic gains, not just vendor-supplied data. How many minutes per day will my K-2 child spend on this platform instead of with their teacher?’
💰 Impact: Increased Student Screen Time

Budget Amendment Hides ‘Edgenuity’ EdTech Subscription
Buried in the ‘Quarterly Budget Amendments’ (Item G3) is an increase to the Curriculum & Staff Development budget for an ‘Edgenuity subscription’. Edgenuity is an online curriculum and credit recovery platform that increases student screen time. This item was placed on the consent agenda, likely to avoid public discussion and scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Item G3 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Ask the Board: ‘What is the total cost of the Edgenuity contract, and has the district published independent proof this program is effective? How much daily screen time does this add for students?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Board to Adopt Undisclosed ‘Legislative Priorities’
Under Item H4, the Board plans to discuss and possibly act on its ‘Legislative Priorities.’ The agenda provides no details or attachments explaining what these priorities are. This could involve using taxpayer funds and the district’s official position to lobby for or against state or federal laws impacting parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board: ‘Regarding Item H4, the public must see the proposed Legislative Priorities before you vote. Will the district be using our tax dollars to lobby for or against specific legislation, and if so, which bills?’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
