District Adopts Improvement Plan with SEL Components
📅 October 19, 2026
The Board will vote on the 2026-2027 District Improvement Plan, which is presented for approval on the consent agenda. The plan includes strategies under ‘Goal 1’ that explicitly incorporate Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts, such as teaching ‘self-management and responsible decision-making strategies’ and ‘conflict resolution strategies’ through ‘relational practices’.
Policy Use

DOCUMENT AND TRACK: Under Consent Item H.1.j, the district is adopting its annual improvement plan. The attached plan (‘Wylie ISD – District Plan’) embeds SEL concepts like ‘self-management’ and ‘relational practices’ into Goal 1. Document this as an example of how SEL frameworks are integrated into district-wide strategic planning.

District Implements State Law on Library Material Approval
📅 October 19, 2026
The district is approving a new library material purchase in compliance with Texas Senate Bill 13. The agenda item notes the proposed purchases were posted on the district website for the required 30-day public review period before this board vote. This action operationalizes a key state law on curriculum and library transparency.
How to Capture It

CAPTURE THE MODEL: Item H.1.k demonstrates district compliance with Texas SB 13, requiring board approval of library materials after a 30-day public review. Capture this agenda item and its attachment as a model for state affairs to show how the law is being implemented correctly at the local level.
