Undisclosed Campus Improvement Plans
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve Campus Improvement Plans for the district. These documents often contain new curriculum, staff training, and policies related to social-emotional learning (SEL) or other ideological initiatives, but the plans have not been made public with the agenda.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Chico ISD board. ‘Regarding Item V.A, please publish the full Campus Improvement Plans online for public review before any vote is taken. Parents and taxpayers have a right to know what policies and curricula these plans contain.’

Vague ‘District Goals’ Up for Approval
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote to approve new ‘District Goals’ without providing the text of these goals to the public beforehand. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from seeing if the goals are academic and fiscally sound or if they open the door to mission creep and wasteful spending.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Chico ISD board. ‘Regarding Item V.B, what are the specific, measurable ‘District Goals’ being considered for approval? The public deserves to see the text of these goals before the Board votes.’

💰 Impact: Lack of Accountability
WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Vague Discussion on ‘Health Services’
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is holding a discussion on ‘Health Services’ with no further details provided. This broad topic can be a gateway to implementing controversial school-based clinics, mental health surveys that collect sensitive student data, or partnerships with third-party providers without full parental transparency.
Response

ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Chico ISD board. ‘Regarding Item V.I, what specific ‘Health Services’ will be discussed? Will this involve new student surveys, data collection, or partnerships with outside vendors without parental consent?’

💰 Impact: Erosion of Parental Rights
