We reviewed the upcoming agenda for NORTHSIDE ISD and found 3 items with policy significance ahead of the vote.
| WATCH (LEVEL 6) |
|
Review of Undisclosed Local Policy ‘CPC (LOCAL)’
The committee will discuss a local policy designated ‘CPC (LOCAL)’. The specific topic is not identified in the agenda, which limits public notice. Texas school policy codes suggest this could relate to records management, which has implications for transparency and parental access to records.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: The agenda for Item 2.J, ‘CPC (LOCAL)’, lacks descriptive text. Immediately request the draft policy text from the district to determine its content before the committee meeting. This could relate to records management or another key governance area.

District Update on Mental Health Services
The board academics committee will receive an ‘Update on Mental Health’. This is a key area for parental rights, as it can involve student counseling, screenings, and surveys that may occur without full parental notification or consent.
Policy Use
WATCH: Monitor the ‘Update on Mental Health’ under Item 2.E for any discussion of new programs, screenings, or changes to parental notification and consent policies. Request any presentation materials associated with this update.

Overview of School Turnaround and Improvement Plans
The committee will discuss ‘Turnaround and Targeted Improvement Plans’ for low-performing schools. These plans often involve significant changes to curriculum and instructional materials and may incorporate frameworks like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) as a strategy for academic improvement.
Policy Use
WATCH: Monitor the discussion on Item 2.A, ‘Overview of Turnaround and Targeted Improvement Plans’. Request any presentation materials to identify whether the proposed strategies rely on SEL, DEI, or other contested pedagogical frameworks.
