District Stacks Health Committee to Sideline Parents
The board is set to approve the 2026-2027 School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) under Item 9.C. The proposed membership list includes 6 district employees and only 4 parents, which violates Texas law requiring a parent majority on the committee that advises on health and sex-ed curriculum. This illegally reduces parental oversight and gives district insiders control over sensitive health topics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct violation of state law designed to protect your rights. Contact the Coupland ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and sign up for public comment: ‘Vote NO on Item 9.C. The proposed SHAC committee is illegal under Texas Education Code 28.004. Appoint a new, legal committee where parents—not district employees—hold the majority.’
💰 Impact: Parental Control Over Health Curriculum

District Approving $81,000+ for New Student Computers
Under Item 8.C on the consent agenda, the board plans to approve an $81,232 purchase of new Mac computers for a student lab. This massive technology purchase is being approved without public discussion or evidence showing how more screen time will lead to better academic results. Parents need to know what direct instruction or hands-on learning is being replaced by these devices.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Coupland ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Pull Item 8.C from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Before spending over $81,000 on new computers, please provide the public with independent evidence of academic gains from this technology and state how much daily screen time this adds per student.’
💰 Impact: $81,232

District Hides EdTech Spending in Monthly Bills
Buried in the ‘Monthly Bills’ on the consent agenda (Item 8.B) are multiple payments totaling $6,962.50 to IXL Learning, a student-facing educational software company. The district is spending thousands on screen-based programs without providing any independent evidence that they improve academic outcomes. This spending is being approved without a public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Coupland ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘I demand Item 8.B be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Before approving nearly $7,000 for IXL Learning, the Board must present public evidence that this software improves academic achievement and disclose how much daily screen time it adds for our children.’
💰 Impact: $6,962.50
