| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Hiding 21 Policy Changes in a Single Vote
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The Board has bundled 21 different policy updates into a single “consent” vote, preventing any public discussion. Hidden in this bundle are significant changes affecting teacher discipline for promoting ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,’ new rules for parental review of instructional materials, and new policies on video and audio surveillance in schools. These major issues deserve a full public discussion, not a rubber stamp.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board and sign up for public comment. ‘I demand the omnibus policy update (listed under the Consent Agenda) be pulled for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to hear the Board publicly debate new policies on DEI, parental review, and student surveillance.’ You can find Board contact information on the district website.

Social Emotional Learning Books Headed for School Libraries
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is approving a new list of library books. While the district followed the public review process, the list includes several books for middle schoolers with titles like ‘Developing social awareness’ and ‘Learning to self-manage.’ These are core concepts of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) being introduced to children through the library, outside of the formal curriculum, without explicit parental consent for this type of instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email the Board: ‘Regarding the Library Book Purchase update, what is the district’s definition of ‘Social Emotional Learning’? I request that the books ‘Developing social awareness,’ ‘Learning to be self-aware,’ ‘Learning to self-manage,’ and ‘Managing your relationships’ be pulled from the list pending a specific review for SEL content.’ You can find Board contact information on the district website.

District to Spend $3.8M on Student Tracking System
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is approving a nearly $4 million contract with CENTEGIX for a ‘safety’ system. A key component is ‘Hall Pass,’ which provides ‘real-time insights into student movement and hallway logistics.’ This is a student surveillance system that will track where our children are at all times on campus. While pitched for safety, this creates a new layer of digital monitoring of students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board: ‘Regarding the CENTEGIX contract, who owns the student movement data collected by the ‘Hall Pass’ system? What is the data retention policy, and can parents opt their children out of this real-time tracking? This vote must be delayed until these privacy questions are answered.’ You can find Board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,872,700

Is UT Austin’s Ideology Coming to Our High Schools?
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The district is spending $550,000 to continue the ‘UT OnRamps’ program, which allows high school students to take dual-credit courses designed by UT Austin faculty. While dual credit can be beneficial, this program creates a direct pipeline for the curriculum and ideological priorities of a very progressive university to be taught to our children. Parents need to know what is actually being taught in these ‘college-level’ courses.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CURRICULUM REVIEW: Email the Board: ‘Regarding the UT OnRamps program, I request that the full syllabus and all required reading materials for every OnRamps course be made publicly available for parental review before this $550,000 contract is approved. We must ensure university-level ideological agendas are not being taught in our high schools.’ You can find Board contact information on the district website.

District Increasing Data Platform Contract to $2.2M
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is increasing the contract for the ‘Eduphoria’ data and assessment platform to over $2.2 million. Currently, the platform is used to track academic performance. However, parents should be aware of any expansion of this platform to collect non-academic data, such as behavioral or social-emotional information.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Track for future scope creep; no immediate action required. Parents should ask their principals what specific data points are being collected on their children in the Eduphoria system.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $550,000 Increase (Total $2,267,765)
