Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for FT SAM HOUSTON ISD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 9, “Final Budget Amendment,” references an attachment titled “Information Provided Under Separate Cover,” but the document’s text is not included in the public agenda packet. Final budget changes can be used to fund controversial programs without scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If the file is empty or missing there too, email Superintendent Dr. Gary Bates at gbates@fshisd.net: ‘Please provide the document “Information Provided Under Separate Cover” for Item 9 so parents can review the final budget amendment before the vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 12 approves a new agreement for School Resource Officers (SROs), but the full Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) document is not attached to the public agenda. While the summary memo sounds routine, the full text must be reviewed to ensure it doesn’t grant SROs inappropriate access to student data or authority in non-criminal student discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘MOA_With502ndRegardingSROs’ attached to Item 12 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Confirm the agreement’s language on student data access and the SRO’s role in discipline. If it’s missing, parents should demand the full text be released.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Privacy

“Social-Emotional” Language Appears in Budget Goals
The 2026-2027 budget presentation lists supporting students’ “social-emotional needs” as a key goal. While sounding harmless, this is often the entry point for introducing controversial Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curricula that can replace academics with psychological programming.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR CLARITY: Email Superintendent Dr. Gary Bates at gbates@fshisd.net: ‘Regarding the budget presentation’s goal of supporting social-emotional needs, what specific curriculum or programs will be used? Parents must have the right to review all materials and opt their children out of any SEL-related surveys or lessons.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Academic Focus

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Policy Prohibits Secret Social Transitioning
A proposed update to policy DH(LOCAL) explicitly prohibits any district employee from assisting a student with “social transitioning.” This new rule prevents staff from hiding a child’s gender identity changes at school from their parents, a critical protection of parental rights.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT: This is a huge win. Show up to thank the Board for adopting this policy. Email Superintendent Dr. Gary Bates at gbates@fshisd.net: ‘Thank you for protecting parental rights by passing the update to policy DH(LOCAL). This ensures parents, not the school, guide their children on sensitive identity issues.’
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Parental Authority

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Policy Bans Divisive DEI Duties
Proposed updates to policies BJCF(LOCAL) and DH(LOCAL) explicitly prohibit employees from engaging in or assigning “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)” duties that are against the law. This policy provides a strong defense against the infiltration of divisive, race-based ideologies into the district’s operations and classrooms.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email Superintendent Dr. Gary Bates at gbates@fshisd.net to thank the Board for this common-sense policy. ‘Thank you for adopting the updates to BJCF and DH (LOCAL) that prohibit illegal DEI duties. This keeps the focus on academic excellence, not political agendas.’ This sets a precedent for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Restoring Academic Focus
