District to Adopt DEI Certification for Vendors
📅 September 28, 2026
The board will vote on adopting a certification process for vendors related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), in accordance with state ‘Senate Bill 12.’ This action appears to be the local implementation of a state law restricting DEI in public contracting, making it a potential model for other districts.
How to Capture It

PULL THE DOCUMENT: Retrieve the proposed ‘Vendors and DEI Adopt Certification’ text for Action Item 8.A. If it aligns with state law restricting DEI, capture the language as a model policy for other Texas districts.

✅ Why It Matters: State Law Compliance (DEI)
