Vague ‘Improvement Plans’ for Two Schools

📅 October 19, 2026

The board will discuss and consider ‘Local Improvement Plans’ for Chico Elementary and Middle Schools. These types of plans are often used to introduce new curricula or spending programs, such as Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), without clear public disclosure of the content or cost.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda does not include the text of the ‘Local Improvement Plans’ under Item V.A. Contact the Chico ISD administration and demand these plans be posted publicly online before the vote. Ask: ‘What specific changes to curriculum, spending, or student data collection do these plans contain?’

💰 Impact: Potential SEL/Consultant Spending
