📅 October 15, 2026

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Comal ISD board and ask for the ‘Counseling 5-Year Update’ presentation materials for Item 4.B to be posted online. Ask: ‘Does this program use Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) frameworks, and if so, which ones?’

Response

ASK FOR THE AGENDA: Contact the Comal ISD board to ask for the agenda and cost associated with Item 4.D, ‘Board Team Building.’ Ask: ‘What is the taxpayer cost for this session, and what are the specific, measurable goals?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
