Massive Policy Overhaul Shifts Power from Board to Superintendent
Under Item 4.02, the Board is voting on a complete rewrite of its policy manual. The new structure deliberately moves operational details from Board-approved ‘policy’ to ‘administrative regulations’ controlled solely by the unelected Superintendent, reducing transparency and public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A HALT: Contact the TMSA Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Vote NO on Item 4.02. The proposed policy structure strips the Board of its oversight duty by giving the Superintendent unchecked authority to create ‘administrative regulations’ behind closed doors. Keep power with the publicly accountable Board.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

‘Social-Emotional Learning’ Embedded in School Mission
The district’s official mission statement, read at the start of every meeting and reaffirmed in new policy proposals, explicitly includes ‘social-emotional learning’ (SEL) as a core component of its educational model. This embeds a non-academic, often ideological, framework at the heart of the school’s purpose, potentially at the expense of core subjects.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Contact the TMSA Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item 1.04, what specific curriculum and materials are used to teach ‘social-emotional learning’? Parents have a right to review all SEL materials to ensure they are age-appropriate and free from political ideology.’
💰 Impact: Academics Displaced

High Schoolers to Provide ‘Medical Services’ in Panama
The Board is approving a trip for high school students to provide ‘primary health care services’ in rural Panama, including working in triage and distributing medication. This raises serious questions about student safety, qualifications, and district liability, and the vendor ‘Global Medical Academy’ is not a well-known school travel provider.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the TMSA Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘I demand Consent Item 5.03 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to hear the Board debate the risks of this international medical trip publicly.’
💰 Impact: Student Safety & Liability

Outside Group’s Strategic Plan Sets School’s Future
The Board is voting to approve a long-range strategic plan developed by an outside consulting firm, Bellwether, and paid for by an external group, the Charter School Growth Fund. This outsources the school’s vision to third parties whose values and goals may not align with the parent community.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the TMSA Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Before voting on Item 4.01, please explain the values and educational philosophy of Bellwether and the Charter School Growth Fund. Parents deserve to know who is shaping our children’s future.’
💰 Impact: External Ideological Influence
