📍 Drive to MEDINA ISD Office   📅 Monday, November 16, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MEDINA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Student ‘Climate Survey’ Data Harvesting
📅 November 16, 2026
The Superintendent will present the results of a ‘Climate Survey’ given to students. These surveys often ask invasive, non-academic questions about students’ feelings, beliefs, and home life, collecting sensitive data that can be used to advance ideological agendas.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Show up to the meeting for Item 5.B. During public comment, demand the district release all survey questions, the vendor contract, and the data privacy policy. Ask the board how parents can opt their children out of all future surveys.

💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Student Surveillance via ‘Threat Assessment Team’
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is voting to approve a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ with the ‘Hill Country Threat Assessment Team.’ These agreements can create systems for student surveillance and data sharing between the school and outside agencies, often without direct parental oversight.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ for Item 4.F. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they publish the full text of the MOU online before the vote so parents can see what data will be shared about their children.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Data Sharing
