District Opts Out of State Law on Parent Grievances
Under Consent Items IX.D and IX.G, the district is using its ‘District of Innovation’ status to exempt itself from a state law (Texas Education Code Chapter 26A) that sets the rules for how parents, students, and employees can file formal complaints. The district claims the state’s process is inefficient and wants to use its own system. This move reduces state-level oversight and allows the district to unilaterally change the rules for how parents can hold it accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Items IX.D and IX.G be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Why is the district opting out of state law designed to protect parents? The Board must publicly explain which protections are being removed and justify why a local policy is better for parents than the one passed by our state legislature.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability

Rubber-Stamping of 488 New Library Books
The board is set to approve a massive list of 488 new library books for all grade levels under a single consent vote in Item IX.C. While the district provides a 30-day review period, the sheer volume makes it nearly impossible for parents to properly vet the materials. The list includes titles by authors known for promoting controversial gender ideology and political activism to children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Item IX.C be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents have not had adequate time to review all 488 proposed books. The Board must not rubber-stamp a list that may contain age-inappropriate and ideological material.’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Ideological Content

Vague $180,000 Increase for ‘Guidance & Counseling’
A quarterly budget amendment under Consent Item IX.E includes a $180,000 increase for ‘Guidance, Counseling and Evaluation Services.’ The only justification provided is ‘Additional resources needed.’ This vague description could hide funding for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, mental health screeners, or other services that operate without full parental transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the $180,000 increase for Guidance and Counseling in Consent Item IX.E, what specific programs, vendors, or personnel will this money fund? The Board must provide a detailed breakdown before approving this spending.’
💰 Impact: $180,000
