| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Board to Discuss District Goals in Training Session
The board and superintendent will discuss district goals as part of a ‘Team of Eight’ training. The content of these goals will shape future policy on curriculum, budget, and parental rights, but no specific proposals are on the agenda for a vote.
Policy Use
WATCH: This is a discussion on Board Goals. Monitor for the adoption of formal goals in a future meeting, as these will drive budget and policy decisions. Request training materials to preview the content.

Discussion of Student Achievement Plan
The board will hold a training and discussion on the district’s Student Achievement Plan. This item provides an early look at the district’s academic priorities, which could include frameworks like SEL or changes to standards and assessments.
Policy Use
WATCH: This is a discussion item on the Student Achievement Plan. Monitor future agendas for a formal proposal or first reading of any changes. A public records request for the training materials could provide early insight into the district’s direction.

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Board to Receive Budget Update
The board will receive a budget update during its training session. This update could reveal fiscal pressures, such as funding cliffs from expiring federal grants, or preview new allocations for programs related to DEI or SEL.
Policy Use
WATCH: This is a budget update discussion. Monitor for details on potential funding cliffs or new spending priorities that may appear as action items on future agendas.
Policy Lever: Undisclosed

| NOTED (LEVEL 3) |
|
Closed Session on Board Roles and Responsibilities
The board will meet in a closed session to discuss its own roles and responsibilities, citing the personnel exception to the state’s open meetings law (Texas Gov’t Code 551.074). Using this exception for a general governance discussion raises transparency concerns.
Policy Use
Monitor only. Note the use of the personnel exception for a governance topic, but no immediate action is required unless this becomes a pattern for substantive policy discussions.
