WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Vague Funding for New Sewer Plant Construction
📅 October 19, 2026
The district is considering a proposal to construct a new sewer treatment plant, a major capital project. The agenda provides no details on the total cost or how it will be funded, opening the door to new debt being issued without direct voter approval.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item 7. Ask for the full proposal from Lee Lewis Construction, the total taxpayer cost, and the specific funding source before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Potential New Debt

Vague ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ Approval
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is set to approve a ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ for the elementary school without providing the plan’s text in the agenda. These plans can be used to introduce controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs or outside consultants into the classroom.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand a public copy of the full ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ for Item 11 before the board votes. Ask what specific curriculum or consultants are being hired.

💰 Impact: Politicized Curriculum
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Secret ‘Vulnerability Assessment’ Report
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is reviewing a ‘District Vulnerability Assessment Full Report’ without making the report public ahead of the meeting. These assessments can sometimes include sensitive student surveys or data collection programs that bypass parental review.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and request a copy of the ‘District Vulnerability Assessment Full Report’ for Item 10. Ask if this assessment involves any student surveys or new data collection.

💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Win (LEVEL 5)
District Seeks to Opt-Out of Federal Program
📅 October 19, 2026
The district is proactively seeking a waiver to opt out of the 2027 Summer Feeding program, which is administered by the state with federal funds. This is a positive step toward asserting local control and rejecting potential mandates that often accompany federal money.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Contact the Roosevelt ISD board (see the Official Agenda link) to thank them for questioning federal programs and exercising local control on Item 13. This sets a great example for other districts.

✅ Why It Matters: Resisting Federal Strings
