Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MARION ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed District Improvement Plans
The board is set to approve the Campus and District Improvement Plans, which dictate curriculum and policy, without making the plans public on the agenda. These documents can contain controversial elements like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Marion ISD Board. ‘Before voting on the Campus and District Improvement Plans, please make the full text of the plans publicly available. Parents and taxpayers have a right to review the policies you plan to enact.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Policy Changes

| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Vote on Library Books
The board plans to ‘Consider Library Books and take action as necessary’ without providing a list of books for purchase or removal, or clarifying the selection criteria. This lack of transparency prevents parents from evaluating whether the books are age-appropriate and educationally sound.
Response
DEMAND A BOOK LIST: Contact the Marion ISD Board. ‘Regarding the agenda item to ‘Consider Library Books,’ I request that a full list of the books being considered for purchase or removal be published before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Politicized School Libraries

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Opaque Spending on Consent Agenda
The board is voting on all ‘Purchases over $10,000’ as a single item on the consent agenda, with no public disclosure of the vendors, items, or total cost. This practice shields significant spending from public scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Marion ISD Board. ‘Regarding the Consent Agenda item ‘Purchases over $10,000,’ I request this be pulled for individual discussion and a vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what is being purchased before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
