Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for GEORGETOWN ISD. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Hiding Ideology in the Student Rulebook
The board is attempting to pass a massive, 45-page Student Code of Conduct on the ‘Consent Agenda’ to avoid public discussion. Buried inside are key ideological terms. Page 8 adds ‘gender identity’ as a protected class, which can be used to punish students for using the wrong pronouns. Page 13 officially authorizes ‘restorative practices,’ which often replace real consequences for misbehavior with therapy-style ‘talking circles.’ They are also adding a new ‘Virtual Expulsion Program,’ moving disciplined students into an online environment with less oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board and demand Item VIII.C, the Student Code of Conduct, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to hear you publicly debate adding ‘gender identity’ and ‘restorative practices’ to the district’s official discipline policy before you vote. Members should verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: N/A (Policy Change)

Lowering Teacher Standards
Under Item VIII.D, the district is voting to create its own ‘School District Teaching Permits.’ This allows them to put paraprofessionals (teacher’s aides) in charge of classrooms as full teachers without them having a standard teaching certificate. This lowers professional standards and could be used to fast-track ideologically aligned activists into teaching positions, bypassing traditional certification requirements.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board: ‘Regarding Item VIII.D, what are the specific eligibility criteria for a paraprofessional to receive a teaching permit? What training will they receive, and who will provide it? How will parents be notified if their child’s primary teacher is operating on a district-issued permit instead of a state certification?’ Members should verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: N/A (Policy Change)

Federal Funding Oversight
Item VI.A is the district’s annual public hearing on the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which is the main pipeline for federal money (Title I, II, IV, etc.). These funds often come with strings attached, mandating specific programs, data collection on students, and ‘equity’ initiatives that parents are not aware of. This is the one chance for the public to ask direct questions about how this money will be used and what data will be collected.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This is not just a routine update; it’s your chance to question the federal money pipeline. Attend the meeting and ask during public comment: ‘Which specific programs and vendors will be funded by Title I, II, and IV grants this year? What new student data will be collected and shared with the federal government as a condition of this funding? Will any of this money be used for SEL, DEI, or restorative practices programs?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed amounts from multiple federal grant streams (Title I, II, IV, IDEA B, Perkins/CTE).
