Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CHANNELVIEW ISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Renewal of SEL-Aligned Digital Curriculum
The district is considering renewing its contract with Imagine Learning for over $50,000. Imagine Learning is a national EdTech vendor whose products often embed Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts into core subjects, which can politicize the classroom.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Channelview ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 15, what specific Imagine Learning products are being renewed for over $50,000? Parents deserve to know if taxpayer money is funding Social-Emotional Learning programs in the classroom.’
💰 Impact: Over $50,000

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Improvement Plan’ Approval
The board is voting to approve the District and Campus Improvement Plans without the documents being publicly attached to the agenda. These plans often contain vague but impactful goals related to ‘equity’ or ‘social-emotional learning’ that are not clearly defined for parents.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 16 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains ideological goals. If no file is attached, demand the full plan be published online before any vote is taken.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Approval of School Health Advisory Council Members
The board is approving the membership of the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). These councils make influential recommendations on sensitive health curriculum, and their composition is critical for ensuring parent values are represented.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Channelview ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 18, please publish the list of proposed SHAC members and their affiliations before the vote. Parents need to know who is advising the district on their children’s health education.’
💰 Impact: Unaccountable Influence on Curriculum
|
| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Student Services Contract with External Group
The district is renewing its agreement with the Bay Area Council on Drugs & Alcohol (BACODA). While the goal is substance abuse prevention, these partnerships can sometimes involve student surveys or data sharing without full parental transparency.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Channelview ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 14, please publish the full renewal agreement with BACODA before the vote. Parents have a right to know what student data will be shared and what surveys will be administered.’
💰 Impact: Potential Student Data Sharing
