Library Book Purchases Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve new library materials under Consent Agenda Item 6.I, meaning it will pass without public discussion. This process prevents parents from reviewing materials before they are purchased and placed in school libraries.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Jarrell ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand that ‘Item 6.I, Library Materials Acquisition, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents have a right to know what books the district is buying with our tax dollars.’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Library Books

District May Limit Public Records Access
Under Item 8.C, the board will vote to designate ‘Non-Business Days’ for the Public Information Act. This is a bureaucratic maneuver that can be used to delay or obstruct parents’ requests for public records, making it harder to get information about curriculum, spending, and policies.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Jarrell ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the meeting. Ask them to ‘Vote NO on Item 8.C. Parents rely on the Public Information Act for oversight, and any attempt to slow down that process is an attack on transparency.’
💰 Impact: Slower Access to Public Records

State ‘Turnaround Plan’ for Igo Elementary
The district will vote on a state-mandated ‘Turnaround Plan’ for Igo Elementary (Item 8.A). These plans are often used to introduce controversial programs like Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL) without direct parental approval under the guise of academic improvement.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND THE HEARING: Attend the Public Hearing (Item 3) and the vote on Item 8.A. Contact the Jarrell ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask: ‘What specific academic and behavioral programs, including any SEL or MTSS components, are included in the Igo Elementary Turnaround Plan? We demand a full public review before any vote.’
💰 Impact: New, Unvetted School-Wide Programs

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

Monitoring ‘Student Voice’ Presentation
A presentation on ‘Student Voice’ is scheduled under Item 7.A.1. While this may be benign, the term is often used by activist groups to introduce student surveys on sensitive topics or to promote student-led political advocacy.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Pay attention to the presentation on Item 7.A.1. If ‘Student Voice’ involves surveys or data collection on student beliefs or attitudes, be prepared to demand opt-out rights. No immediate action required, but stay vigilant.
💰 Impact: Student Data Collection
