We reviewed the upcoming agenda for PROSPER ISD and found 4 items with policy significance ahead of the vote.
| PRIORITY (LEVEL 7) |
|
Nomination of Delegate to TASB Lobbying Assembly
The board will nominate a delegate and alternate to the TASA/TASB Delegate Assembly. This delegate will vote on the legislative platform for the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), a powerful lobbying group that influences state education policy.
Policy Use
IDENTIFY AND TRACK: Identify the delegate and alternate nominated under item 10.C. Add them to the state tracker for the TASB Delegate Assembly to anticipate votes on the association’s legislative platform.
Policy Lever: Lobbying Association Representation

| WATCH (LEVEL 6) |
|
Approval of School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) Members
The board will approve members for the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), which advises on health curriculum and instruction. The list of proposed members is not included in the public agenda, preventing public review of their qualifications or potential biases before the vote.
Policy Use
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Request the list of proposed SHAC members for consent agenda item 9.B from the district before the vote to assess their backgrounds and potential influence on health-related policies.
Policy Lever: Health Curriculum Control

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Reclassification of District Fund Balance
The board will vote to reclassify funds from ‘committed’ to ‘uncommitted’ status. This accounting change could increase the board’s flexibility for future spending without specific designation, warranting monitoring for how these funds are ultimately used.
Policy Use
WATCH: Monitor future agendas for how the board intends to use the reclassified uncommitted funds under item 10.B.
Policy Lever: Fund Balance Reclassification

| Model Policy (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Certifies Compliance with State Anti-DEI Law
The board will vote to certify its compliance with Texas state law (SB 12) prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) duties and certain instructional content. The district has implemented multiple new local policies affecting superintendent, employee, and contractor conduct to align with the state mandate, providing a clear implementation model.
How to Capture It
CAPTURE THE MODEL: Item 10.A and its attachment provide a clear model for implementing state anti-DEI law. Capture the ‘Certification of Compliance’ document and the list of revised local policies (BJCF, BT, CJ, DF, DFBB, DH) for the state model policy file.
✅ Why It Matters: State Law Compliance (Anti-DEI)
