Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming ETOILE ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Budget Amendment Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to vote on a ‘Budget Amendment’ as part of a bundled consent agenda (Item II.A), preventing public discussion and scrutiny. The vote is scheduled to happen before the workshop discussion on the same topic, a significant failure of transparent governance that hides potential spending changes from taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Etoile Academy board. ‘I demand the Budget Amendment be pulled from the Consent Agenda (Item II.A) for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see how their money is being moved before you vote, not after.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Changes

School ‘Improvement Plans’ on Fast-Track for Approval
The board is set to approve the ‘CIP/DIP’ (Campus/District Improvement Plans) under the consent agenda (Item II.A) without public review. These critical documents dictate curriculum focus and school policies, but by bundling them, the board avoids a public discussion on their contents.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Etoile Academy board and ask for the proposed Campus and District Improvement Plans (CIP/DIP) under Item II.A to be posted publicly before the vote. Parents have a right to know what’s in the plans that guide their children’s education.
💰 Impact: Potential Ideological Mission Drift

Vague ‘Strategic Academic Plan’ Under Discussion
The board will discuss a new ‘Etoile Strategic Academic Plan’ in a workshop (Item V.B), but the document itself is not provided for public review. These plans can be a vehicle for introducing controversial frameworks like DEI or SEL into the curriculum, and this lack of transparency prevents parental oversight.
Response
MONITOR & QUESTION: Attend the workshop or contact the board. ‘Regarding the Strategic Academic Plan discussion (Item V.B), please ensure the final plan prioritizes academic excellence over social agendas and is made fully available for public review before any future vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum Changes
