Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for LAMAR CISD. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Rules Changed to Limit Parent Input
The agenda states that public comment on a specific item will only happen *after* the Board has already discussed it. This procedural change appears designed to reduce the influence of parent feedback on the Board’s deliberations, making it harder for the public to shape policy before decisions are made.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details). ‘Regarding Item 7, I am concerned the new public comment rule silences parents by only allowing them to speak after the Board’s discussion is over. Please restore public comment to the beginning of the agenda item so our voices can inform your debate.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parent Voice

DEI Language Appears in Heritage Month Resolution
A resolution for Hispanic Heritage Month includes a clause stating the Board demonstrates a “commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This language contradicts the district’s formal certification in another agenda item that it is complying with state law to ban DEI initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE CONTRADICTION: Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details). ‘Regarding Item 8.G.2, why does this resolution praise the district’s commitment to DEI, when Item 9.C certifies the district is complying with state law to *ban* DEI? Please remove the DEI language to align with state law and district policy.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Inconsistency

District Adopts Landmark Parental Rights Policy
The new FA (Local) policy codifies the fundamental right of parents to direct their children’s upbringing. It requires written parental consent for name/pronoun changes, prohibits instruction on “gender fluidity,” and ensures bathrooms and other private spaces are designated by biological sex.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM: This is a huge victory. We need to show up in force to thank the Board for passing this policy. This sets a powerful precedent for the entire state—let’s make sure it’s celebrated, defended, and used as a model for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Children

District Adopts Strict “Phones Away All Day” Policy
The new Student Code of Conduct requires all personal devices, including cell phones and smart watches, to be turned off and stored away for the entire school day. This policy will reduce classroom distractions and help refocus students on learning and away from social media.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board for putting academics first and protecting the learning environment from constant distraction. This is a model policy for other districts struggling with phone-related discipline and mental health issues.
✅ Why It Matters: Restored Focus on Academics

District Certifies Compliance with State Anti-DEI Law
The district is formally certifying its compliance with state law (SB12) that prohibits Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and duties. They have updated numerous board policies to explicitly ban DEI activities for all staff and contractors, removing this divisive ideology from school operations.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT AND VERIFY: Thank the Board for their commitment to removing divisive DEI ideology from our schools. Ask them to ensure these policies are being enforced at the campus level to protect our children from these concepts.
✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Merit, Not Ideology

District Implements Transparent Library Book Review Process
The district has established a process requiring all proposed library books, including donations, to be publicly listed for 30 days for parent review and feedback before the Board votes on them. This strengthens parental oversight of what’s on school library shelves.
How to Lock It In
APPLAUD AND ENGAGE: Thank the Board for this transparent process. Now, we must use it. Go to the district website, review the monthly list of proposed books, and provide feedback to the Board before every meeting.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Oversight
