| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board to Vote on Undisclosed Purchases Over $25,000
Under Action Item 12.B, the board is scheduled to vote on ‘Purchases Greater than $25,000’ without specifying what these purchases are. This lack of transparency prevents any public oversight on how significant amounts of taxpayer money are being spent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board and Superintendent immediately. ‘Item 12.B is an unacceptable transparency failure. The public has a right to know what purchases over $25,000 are being approved with our tax dollars. This item must be tabled until a detailed list of expenditures is provided to the public.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Library Books on Consent Agenda Without Public Review
The board is set to approve new book orders for both the Middle School (5.C) and Elementary School (5.D) libraries on the consent agenda. No list of the books being purchased has been made public, preventing parental review before taxpayer money is spent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board and Superintendent before the meeting. ‘Regarding Items 5.C and 5.D, I demand the full list of proposed library books be made public immediately. Parents have a right to review materials purchased for our children with our tax dollars before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New Visitor Policy Hidden on Consent Agenda
Item 5.A is for a ‘Visitor Policy 2.0,’ but the text of the policy has not been made public with the agenda. Such policies can be used to limit parental access to school buildings and classrooms, and should never be passed without full public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board and demand Item 5.A be pulled from the consent agenda. ‘The full text of the proposed Visitor Policy 2.0 must be posted publicly for parental review before any vote is taken. We will not accept policies that could limit our access to our children’s schools.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Access

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District to Hear Presentation on Mysterious ‘R-PEP’ Program
The board will receive a presentation on ‘R-PEP’ (Item 10.A), an undefined acronym. Parents need to know if this is a new academic, behavioral, or social-emotional program that will affect their children before it moves forward.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Superintendent before the meeting: ‘Regarding Information Item 10.A, what does the acronym R-PEP stand for, and what is the nature of this presentation? Is this a new program being considered for students?’
💰 Impact: Potential New Program

How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Attend the meeting or email the board to express support for Item 10.D. ‘Thank you for formalizing a clear process for homeschool participation in UIL. This supports parental choice and benefits all students in our community.’
