| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

New ‘Climate Change and Human Impact’ Course – Details Hidden
The board is introducing a new high school science unit titled ‘Climate Change and Human Impact’ (9.f), but the actual curriculum materials have not been provided in the agenda packet. This topic is frequently used to push political activism and climate alarmism on students, and parents have a right to see the materials before a First Reading.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see Official Agenda link for contacts) and demand that Item 9.f be tabled until the full curriculum is posted for public review. ‘Parents must be able to review the ‘Climate Change and Human Impact’ materials. We will not approve a curriculum we cannot see.’
💰 Impact: Classroom Activism

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Discipline Policy Adds ‘Gender Identity’ as Protected Class
The revised student discipline policy (8.d) adds ‘gender identity or expression’ to the list of protected classes for harassment and bullying. This could mean students face disciplinary action for using the ‘wrong’ pronouns or expressing traditional views on gender, chilling free speech.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a Second Reading and final vote. Email the Board of Education (see Official Agenda link for contacts) and attend the meeting to speak. Demand they answer: ‘Will a student be disciplined under Policy 5114 for expressing the belief that there are only two sexes, or for accidentally using an incorrect pronoun? This policy must not be used to compel speech.’
💰 Impact: Student Free Speech

Revisions to ‘Current Issues’ History Course – Details Hidden
The board is voting on revisions to the ‘Current Issues’ history course (9.g), but the details of the changes are not included in the agenda. Courses like this are often used to introduce politically charged, one-sided topics into the classroom without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 9.g attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what is being revised in the ‘Current Issues’ course. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts) and demand the item be tabled if the materials are not clear and balanced.
💰 Impact: Political Indoctrination

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Revisions to ‘American Culture’ History Course – Details Hidden
The agenda includes a vote on revising the ‘American Culture’ history course (9.h), but provides no documents showing what is being changed. This lack of transparency is unacceptable for a course that defines how our children learn about their own country.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 9.h attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what is being revised in the ‘American Culture’ course. We need to know if this course teaches students to love their country or to be ashamed of it.
💰 Impact: Revisionist History

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Science Unit Framed Around ‘Social Justice’ and ‘Equity’
The new high school science unit ‘Energy in the Environment’ (9.b) uses the Texas power crisis to explore ‘unbalanced effects on communities’ and how ‘design solutions affect some people differently.’ This framing can easily shift the focus from objective science to subjective social and environmental justice narratives.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is a First Reading. Email the Board of Education (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 9.b, parents expect science class to teach science, not social commentary. Please ensure the ‘Energy in the Environment’ curriculum focuses on scientific principles, not political or social justice ideologies.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Science with Activism

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
School Lunch Policy Involves ‘Homeless Liaison’
The revised food service policy (8.b) states that after 30 unpaid meal charges, parents will be referred to the district’s ‘homeless education liaison.’ While aimed at support, this creates a pathway for district intervention into family situations based on lunch debt.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board of Education (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Policy 3542.1, what is the specific role of the homeless education liaison in collecting meal debt, and what family information is shared during this referral? Parents should not be subjected to district investigation over school lunch balances.’
💰 Impact: Family Privacy

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Curriculum Committee Minutes Not Provided
The agenda references minutes from the October 21st Curriculum & Instruction Committee meeting (7.a), but the document itself was not included in the public packet. Parents cannot see what curriculum changes were discussed or recommended before the full board votes on them.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘7. BOE C&I Agenda Minutes 10.21.26’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what curriculum changes were discussed before the full board votes.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum Changes
