Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for ALIEF ISD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
City Health Dept ‘Healthy Decision-Making’ Program
The district is approving a partnership with the City of Houston Health Department for a ‘Choosing the Best (CTB) Youth Development and Healthy Decision-Making Program.’ These programs, especially from government health departments, often contain sensitive content on sexuality and relationships that may conflict with family values. The full curriculum and agreement documents have not been made public with the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) and demand Item 10.10 be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Ask them: ‘Post the full ‘Choosing the Best’ curriculum and the complete MOU with the Houston Health Department for 30 days of public review before any vote is taken. Parents will not approve a black box program.’
💰 Impact: Parental Rights

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in After-School Programs
The district is approving an agreement with Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) to provide after-school and summer programs. The agreement explicitly states these programs ‘must include activities to…promote social and emotional learning skills (SEL)’ and funding is tied to providing SEL.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website) regarding Item 10.5: ‘What specific SEL curriculum will be used in the HCDE after-school program? Please provide the parental opt-out form for the SEL components of this program before the vote.’
💰 Impact: $180,000 (Grant Funded)

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague ‘Improvement Plans’ Require Manual Review
The board is set to approve District and Campus Improvement Plans, but the actual plans are not included in the public agenda packet. These documents often contain the district’s strategic goals and can be used to introduce ‘equity,’ SEL, or DEI initiatives without a separate, transparent vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 11.5 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes related to DEI, SEL, or ‘equity’. If it does, immediately alert the chapter leadership.
💰 Impact: Hidden Ideological Goals

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Bulk Approval of Library Books Limits Parental Review
The board is voting to approve a 42-page list of new library books in a single agenda item. While a public review period was offered, bundling hundreds of titles makes meaningful parental oversight nearly impossible. This process allows potentially controversial materials to be acquired without genuine scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) regarding Item 10.11: ‘We request that large library acquisitions be broken into smaller, genre-specific lists for board approval. A 42-page list is too large for parents to meaningfully review, defeating the purpose of the 30-day review period.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Oversight
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
District Spending on ‘Wellness’ Program
A budget amendment includes $4,800 for ‘APEX-Engage wellness.’ ‘Wellness’ is often a euphemism for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or mental health initiatives that can survey students on sensitive topics without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Email the Board (contact info on district website) regarding the ‘APEX-Engage wellness’ line item in the budget amendments under Item 10.7: ‘What is this program, what does it teach, and does it involve student surveys? Please provide details before this expenditure is approved.’
💰 Impact: $4,800
