District Renews Student Surveillance Software
The district is renewing its annual contract for GoGuardian, a software that monitors students’ online activity on school-issued devices. This raises significant concerns about student data privacy, the scope of school surveillance, and what information is being collected and stored.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: ‘Regarding Item XII.C, what specific data is GoGuardian collecting on our students, who has access to it, and for how long is it stored? I request this item be discussed openly and decided with a roll-call vote.’

District to Finalize Lobbying Agenda for Legislature
The board will hold a ‘preliminary discussion’ on its legislative priorities for the 90th Texas Legislative Session. This is where school districts decide what to ask state lawmakers for, often leading to taxpayer-funded lobbying against property tax relief and for increased spending.
Response
EMAIL THE BOARD: ‘Regarding Item XI.B, I urge the board to adopt a legislative agenda that prioritizes property tax relief and local control, and to oppose any effort to use our tax dollars to lobby against parents and taxpayers.’ Contact info is on the district website.
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

District Proposes Giving Away Public Land
The board will vote on a resolution to donate real property owned by the district to Parker County. The agenda provides no information on the value of this taxpayer-owned asset or the justification for giving it away instead of selling it.
Response
INVESTIGATE: ‘Before voting on Item XII.D, please disclose the appraised value of the property being donated and explain why this is a better deal for taxpayers than selling the asset. Post Resolution 10202026-1 online for public review.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Value of Asset

Vague ‘Improvement Plans’ Up for Approval
The board is set to approve the Campus and District Improvement Plans without the documents being attached to the public agenda. These lengthy plans can be used to introduce controversial curricula or policies like DEI or SEL with little public scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: ‘Regarding Item XII.B, I request the full text of the Campus and District Improvement Plans be posted online for public review at least 72 hours before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Ideological Agendas
