District to Approve Campus Plans with SEL and Equity Focus
The board will approve all 2026-2027 Campus Improvement Plans (CIPs) via the consent agenda. A sample plan for Barton Elementary includes strategies to implement ‘Social-Emotional Learning routines’ and identifies racial disproportionality in student discipline as a key problem, signaling a district-wide focus on contested ideological frameworks.
Policy Use
DOCUMENT AND TRACK: The approval of Campus Improvement Plans under consent item III.A.9 codifies SEL and equity-focused discipline as official campus strategy. Capture the attached Barton Elementary CIP as a model and direct a records request for the CIPs of all other district schools to assess the full scope of implementation.
Policy Lever: SEL Implementation

Board to Approve Administrator’s Outside Work for Unnamed Vendor
The board will approve an administrator’s contract for outside work with a business entity, an exception allowed under a new state ethics law (TEC 11.006). The agenda does not name the vendor or describe the services, limiting public oversight of a potential conflict of interest.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: The vendor and contract details for item III.A.11 are not provided. Direct a records request to the District Office for the contract between Neyra Rios and the outside business entity to assess for potential conflicts of interest before the vote.
Policy Lever: Potential Conflict of Interest
