Board Discussing Controversial Title IX Updates in Secret
The board is meeting with lawyers in a closed session to discuss ‘Title IX updates.’ This likely concerns the Biden administration’s new rules on gender identity, which have major implications for parental rights, student privacy, and girls’ sports.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Alvarado ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Any policy changes resulting from your closed-door discussion on Title IX must be presented for public comment and a recorded vote in an open meeting. Do not use legal advice to hide policy decisions from parents.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents on Gender Policy

Vague ‘Renaissance Learning’ Renewal — Manual Review Required
The district is renewing its contract with ed-tech giant Renaissance Learning. The cost and specific services, such as assessments, data tracking, or potential Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) components, are not disclosed in the agenda, preventing public review before the vote.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for ‘Renaissance Learning Renewal for 2026-2027’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the cost and whether it includes data mining or Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) components.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Public Comment Restricted by Pre-Meeting Signup Deadline
The district requires residents to sign up for public comment by 4:00 PM on the day of the meeting. This rule can prevent busy parents and taxpayers from addressing the board on issues that arise after the deadline, limiting public accountability.
Response
Contact the Alvarado ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The 4:00 PM public comment signup deadline disenfranchises working parents and taxpayers. Please allow residents to sign up to speak until the meeting begins to ensure full public participation.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
