| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Payment to Controversial ‘School Turnaround’ Consultant
The district paid $45,499.33 to School Empowerment Network, a vendor known for pushing disruptive “turnaround” models that can replace local control with a top-down, ideologically-driven agenda. This payment was buried deep within a routine disbursement report, bypassing public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Alief ISD Board (contact info on district website). Ask: ‘Regarding the $45,499 payment to School Empowerment Network on July 23, what specific services were rendered? Parents deserve to know why our district is contracting with a firm known for controversial school takeovers.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $45,499.33

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Massive Library Book List Buried in Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a massive list of new library books for all grade levels, including Pre-K, with a single vote on the consent agenda. The provided list is enormous, making it impossible for parents to conduct a meaningful review for age-appropriateness and ideological content before approval.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Alief ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 10.11, Library Materials Acquisition, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. A book list this large cannot be transparently approved without public review of the process.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight

New Teacher Training Program Bypasses Traditional Oversight
The district is entering an agreement with ‘240 Certification’ and a nonprofit called ‘edwell’ to create a new teacher pipeline. This ‘Grow Your Own’ model uses language like ‘holistic apprentice support systems’ which can be a trojan horse for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideologies into teacher training, outside of traditional university oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Alief ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.7, what curriculum will 240 Certification and edwell use to train new teachers? Parents have a right to know that teacher training is focused on academic excellence, not ideology.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Teacher Quality & Ideological Training

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Vague Teacher Training Agreement — Manual Review Required
Item 10.6 proposes a Memorandum of Understanding with Western Governors University for a ‘Teacher Apprenticeship Program.’ However, the actual document outlining the terms of this partnership is not attached to the public agenda, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 10.6 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the terms of this teacher training partnership. We need to know what standards and curriculum will be used for our future teachers.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
