Undisclosed Resolution on Student Threat Assessment
📅 November 18, 2026
The board plans to vote on an unpublished resolution concerning the state’s ‘Threat Assessment’ law (TEC 37.0814). These programs can be used to collect sensitive student data and implement behavioral interventions, sometimes without full parental transparency.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the text of the resolution regarding Texas Education Code Section 37.0814. Contact the Marion ISD Board and demand they publish the full text of the resolution online before any vote is taken so parents can review it.

The board is receiving a ‘Legislative Update’ from an entity called SCEC. This could be a briefing on how to lobby the state legislature using taxpayer resources, or a report from an association that lobbies against taxpayer interests.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Marion ISD Board. ‘Regarding the SCEC Legislative Update, please clarify if this involves any taxpayer-funded lobbying or membership in associations that lobby the legislature. All such activities should be fully transparent to the public.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying
