We reviewed the upcoming agenda for INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP OF TEXAS (ILTEXAS) and found 3 items with policy significance ahead of the vote.
| WATCH (LEVEL 6) |
|
Student Discipline Code and Handbook Amendment
The board will approve a change to the Student/Parent Handbook and Code of Conduct, specifically amending ‘Level II Offenses’ and the definition of ‘personal communication device.’ Changes to student discipline codes can signal a shift toward or away from accountability, potentially adopting restorative practices over traditional consequences.
Policy Use

Ratification of Undisclosed Contracts on Consent Agenda
The board will ratify an unspecified list of contracts and agreements executed between September 15 and October 26, 2026. Placing undisclosed contracts on the consent agenda limits public scrutiny of vendors and spending, which could include consultants for DEI, SEL, or other ideologically-driven programs.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Before the vote on Consent Agenda Item VI.A.1, request the list of contracts and agreements being ratified to identify any spending on ideological consultants or programs. Direct the records request to board@iltexas.org.

Employee Handbook Change on Wearable Recording Devices
The board will vote on a change to the employee handbook adding a section regarding ‘unauthorized wearable recording devices.’ This policy could be used to prevent employees from documenting classroom incidents or administrative directives, impacting transparency and potential whistleblowing.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Request the text of ‘Change 2 to the 2026–2027 ILTexas Employee Handbook’ under Consent Agenda Item VI.A.4 to analyze the scope of the prohibition on recording devices. Direct the records request to board@iltexas.org.
