Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming PROSPER ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
Large Library Book Purchase on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a massive list of new library books without individual review by placing it on the consent agenda. Bundling hundreds of titles, including some that may introduce complex social topics to young students, prevents public discussion and bypasses parental oversight on what the district is buying.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Prosper ISD Board. ‘I demand Consent Item 9.B, the Library Material Procurement List, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a separate, recorded vote. Parents deserve transparency on what books the district is buying with our tax dollars.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Review

| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |

Restrictive Public Comment Rules Limit Speech
The district requires parents and taxpayers to register to speak by noon on the Friday before a Monday meeting. This rule creates a significant barrier for busy families and prevents them from responding to last-minute agenda changes, effectively limiting public input on their own schools.
Response
DEMAND A CHANGE: Contact the Prosper ISD Board. ‘The Friday noon deadline for public comment registration under Item 6 is an unreasonable barrier. I request the board amend this policy to allow registration up until the meeting begins to ensure public access and accountability.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |

Major GPA Policy Change Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is using the consent agenda to pass complex changes to how student class rank and GPA are calculated. This major policy shift, which directly impacts college admissions and academic honors for future graduating classes, is being pushed through without a full public discussion or clear explanation to families.
Response
PULL THE ITEM: Contact the Prosper ISD Board. ‘Item 9.D, the change to policy EIC Local, is too significant for the consent agenda. Please pull this item for a full presentation and discussion so parents can understand how it impacts our students.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency
