Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SALADO ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Training by Lobbying Group
The board is discussing ‘Team of Eight Training.’ This training is often conducted by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), an organization that uses local tax dollars to lobby the legislature for higher spending and against parental rights.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to ask who is providing the ‘Team of Eight Training’ and for a copy of the materials. Email the board: ‘Regarding Item XII, taxpayers deserve to know who is conducting this training and what is being taught. We oppose using our funds for training from groups like TASB that lobby against our interests.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Appointing School Health Committee Member
The board is appointing its representative to the School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC). This committee has significant influence over sensitive health and sex education curriculum, making this appointment critical for parental oversight.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to ask who is being considered for the SHAC representative. Email the board: ‘Regarding Item IX, please name the nominee for the SHAC position and confirm their commitment to parental rights and curriculum transparency before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Parental Oversight

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Potential Changes to Student Dress Code
The board is discussing the student dress code without providing the proposed text for public review. Dress code policies can impact students and families significantly, and changes should be made in the open, not behind closed doors.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that the proposed dress code changes be published online for public review. Email the board: ‘Regarding Item X, parents must be able to review proposed dress code changes before you vote on them. Please postpone this item until the text is made public.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents
