Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for LIBERTY HILL ISD. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed Library Book Purchase
The board is voting on Item 9.a to approve the purchase of new library books, but the agenda does not include a list of the titles being considered or the total cost. This process prevents parents from reviewing the books for age-appropriateness and ideological content before they are placed in school libraries.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 9.a, I demand the full list of library books being considered for purchase, along with their total cost, be made public immediately. The Board must not vote on undisclosed materials for our children’s libraries.’ Chapter members should verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Impact: Unvetted Student Materials

Vague Policy Updates Require Review
Under Item 7.b, the board is presenting updates to four local policies (BBF, BBI, BDAA, and BBD) without providing the text of the changes in the public agenda. These policies can govern everything from public complaints to board member duties, and any changes must be reviewed by parents to ensure they don’t reduce transparency or parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the text of proposed changes for Item 7.b. Contact the District Office and demand the ‘redline’ or summary of changes for policies BBF, BBI, BDAA, and BBD be posted publicly before the meeting. Parents must be able to see what is changing before it becomes policy.
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Oversight

District Plans to Sue Social Media Companies
The Board is voting to hire three law firms on a contingency basis to join a multi-district lawsuit against social media companies for alleged harms to youth (Items 11.b and 11.c). This commits the district to complex, potentially lengthy litigation with undisclosed financial risks and obligations.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Before the Board commits to a major lawsuit in Items 11.b and 11.c, parents deserve answers. Email the Board: ‘What are the potential costs to the district if this social media lawsuit is unsuccessful? Has the board considered non-litigation alternatives to address student social media use? Please explain the full scope of this commitment before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Legal Risks
