|
District Seeking Exemption from Armed Guard Law
The board is voting on a resolution to exempt the district from the state-mandated requirement to have an armed security officer on every campus. The district claims ‘good cause’ for this exception, but provides no public justification or details on what alternative security will be provided.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical safety issue. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on Item VII.O. Our children’s safety is not negotiable. Do not weaken the security requirements mandated by state law.’

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secretive ‘Board Policy Update 127’ Vote
The board is discussing ‘Board Policy Update 127’ with no description of what the policy contains. These vague updates are frequently used to pass controversial changes related to library books, gender identity, or parental rights without attracting public attention.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Item IX.A, Policy Update 127, must not be discussed without the full text of the proposed changes being made public at least 72 hours in advance. What are you trying to hide?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vote on New Student Code of Conduct
The board is voting to approve the 2026-2027 Student Code of Conduct. This document sets the rules for everything from discipline to dress code and is often where districts insert new ideological policies on pronouns, bullying, and student speech.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Post the full draft of the 2026-2027 Student Code of Conduct online immediately. Parents have a right to review this document and provide feedback before you vote on Item IX.B.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Rights

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague ‘Student Services’ Contract with New Vendor
The district is approving a contract with a vendor called ‘Merakey Allos’ for unspecified ‘student services.’ These types of contracts are often used to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or mental health services without full parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Pull item VII.R from the Consent Agenda. Who is Merakey Allos, what specific services will they provide, and will parents have full opt-out rights? Post the full contract online before any vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New Counseling Interns in Schools
The district is approving a counseling internship program with Liberty University. This places outside personnel in schools to counsel students, but the agenda provides no details on the topics, training, or parental notification and consent procedures.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Pull item VII.L from the Consent Agenda. Parents must see the full Memorandum of Understanding and know the exact rules for parental consent before any outside counseling program is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Using District Power to Influence Lobbying Group
The board is using its official position to endorse a candidate for the TASB (Texas Association of School Boards) Board of Directors. TASB is a powerful lobbying organization that frequently opposes parental rights legislation in Austin, so who our district endorses matters.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item IX.D, what is the endorsed candidate’s public position on parental rights in education and curriculum transparency? The public deserves to know who you are supporting with our district’s name.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Report on Student Technology Use
A report on ‘Purposeful Use of Technology’ is being presented. These reports can conceal the implementation of student surveillance software, data mining programs, or social media monitoring without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & REQUEST: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Please make the full report for Item X.D, “NISD Safeguards and Purposeful Use of Technology,” publicly available. Parents need to know what software is being used on school devices and what student data is being collected.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
