Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for LEWISVILLE ISD. We found 9 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
$9.3M Blank Check for “Instructional Materials”
The board is being asked to approve a massive $9.3 million vendor pool for “Instructional Materials, Teaching Aids, Supplies, Software, Equipment.” This is a classic Trojan Horse, creating a pre-approved slush fund for purchasing ideological curriculum like SEL or DEI without specific public review for each purchase. This bypasses parental oversight on a massive scale.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item I.4.c.6 for $9.3M be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Parents have a right to know exactly what curriculum and software this money will buy before you approve it. We will not approve a blank check for ideological vendors.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,300,000

School Clinic Plans to Add “Behavioral Health Services”
An update on the ‘Pediplace’ program reveals plans to add “behavioral health services” at its school-based clinic. This is a significant step toward providing mental health interventions and screenings on campus, outside of parental presence and control. This normalizes the school’s role in your child’s mental health, a core parental responsibility.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is an unacceptable overreach. Sign up for public comment. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on any expansion of Pediplace to include behavioral health. We do not co-parent with the school district on mental healthcare. Parents, not schools, are the arbiters of their children’s mental and emotional wellbeing.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Mental Health Privacy

District Weakens Parent and Employee Grievance Process
Under ‘Board Policy Updates,’ the district is reverting its grievance policies for parents, students, and employees. The timeline for administrators to respond to a formal complaint is being cut in half, from 20 business days back to 10. This rushes the process, giving parents and staff less time and leverage to have their serious concerns properly investigated and heard.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the changes to grievance policies DGBA, FNG, and GF, do not reduce the time for administrators to respond. Rushing a grievance investigation serves the bureaucracy, not parents seeking justice. Vote NO on these changes.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Accountability

$460k Contract with Education Service Center (ESC)
The district plans to spend $460,400 on a membership with ESC Region 11 for services including “professional development” and “Instructional Solutions and Support.” ESCs are notorious pipelines for progressive TEA mandates and ideological training for teachers. This contract pays an outside entity to influence classroom instruction with minimal parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item I.4.c.1, what specific “Instructional Solutions” and “professional development” will ESC Region 11 provide for $460,400? Parents have a right to review the content you are paying to have taught to our teachers.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $460,400

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Medicaid Billing Incentivizes In-School “Therapy”
The district is approving a vendor to process Medicaid claims for School Health and Related Services (SHARS). This program allows the school to bill Medicaid for services like “counseling” and “psychological services.” This creates a direct financial incentive for the district to identify more students for these services, expanding the school’s role as a mental health provider.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the SHARS vendor in Item I.4.c.5, what specific guardrails are in place to ensure parents provide explicit, ongoing consent before any psychological or counseling services are billed to Medicaid in their child’s name?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Financial Incentive to Diagnose

District Spends $580k to Expand Google Student Surveillance
The district is paying $580,000 to upgrade to Google Workspace for Education Plus. The justification is to gain “advanced security,” “improved data loss prevention,” and crucially, “expanded monitoring and reporting functionality.” This is a significant investment in technology to increase the district’s ability to monitor student activity on school devices and accounts.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Google Workspace upgrade in Item I.1.a.1, who owns the student data collected? Please confirm that parents can opt their children out of this expanded monitoring without sacrificing access to core educational tools.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $580,000

District Implements Vague “Improvement Plan”
The board is discussing the 2026-27 District Improvement Plan (DIP), which is full of bureaucratic jargon like “summative reviews” and “scorecard metrics.” These vague, data-driven plans can easily be used to implement ideological goals (like equity-based outcomes) under the cover of neutral-sounding metrics, bypassing direct conversations with parents about what’s being prioritized.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A PLAIN-ENGLISH PLAN: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘The District Improvement Plan presentation is filled with jargon. Please provide a one-page summary in plain English explaining the top 3 academic and non-academic priorities for the year before this plan is adopted.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Agendas

District Renews “Child Find” Agreement for Ages 0-3
The district is renewing its Memorandum of Understanding with Early Childhood Intervention (ECI). This is part of the federally mandated “Child Find” program, which obligates the district to identify children with potential disabilities from birth. While intended to help, this expands the school system’s reach into the home years before kindergarten, creating a pathway for early surveillance and intervention.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This is a federally mandated program, but parents should be aware of how it expands the school’s role. Ask your principal: ‘What is the exact process for parental notification and consent under the ECI / Child Find program before any screening or evaluation of a child occurs?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Pre-K Surveillance

| Major Win (LEVEL 10) |

Model Policy: District Prohibits Social Transitioning, DEI
In a major victory for parental rights, the board is voting on policy updates that explicitly prohibit employees from assisting a student with “social transitioning.” The policy also bans engaging in or assigning “diversity, equity, and inclusion duties prohibited by law.” This is a landmark policy that protects children from ideological influence and affirms the role of parents.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT THIS: This is a model policy for the state. Show up to thank the Board for protecting our kids and parental rights. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for standing with parents. Please vote YES on Policy Update 127 to protect our children from social transitioning and divisive DEI concepts.’
✅ Why It Matters: A Win for Parents
