ALERT (LEVEL 9)
Requires Verification

Vote on Undisclosed K-5 Reading Curriculum
📅 October 8, 2026
The board plans to approve new K-5 Language Arts and Reading curriculum under Item 9.A. However, the agenda does not name the publisher or provide any materials for public review, preventing parents from seeing what their children will be taught.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board of Trustees via the district website. Ask them: ‘Before the vote on Item 9.A, please publicly post the names of the publishers and all materials being considered for the new K-5 Language Arts and Reading curriculum. Parents have a right to know.’

💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Public Comment on Non-Agenda Items Delayed 11 Days
📅 October 8, 2026
The board is deferring all ‘Citizen Participation’ (comments on non-agenda topics) to a separate meeting on October 19, eleven days after this work session. This separates public feedback from the board’s main meeting, making it harder for citizens to hold officials accountable in a timely manner.
Response

Contact the Board of Trustees via the district website. Ask them: ‘Why is Citizen Participation being moved to a separate meeting on October 19th? The public deserves to address the full board on all matters during your primary meetings, not be deferred for 11 days.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Vague ‘Agreement with Harris County’ on Consent Agenda
📅 October 8, 2026
Item 8.C on the consent agenda asks the board to approve an ‘addendum to the agreement between Harris County and CFISD’ without providing the document for public review. This bundles a potentially significant financial or data-sharing agreement into a single up-or-down vote with no public details.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees and demand that ‘Item 8.C be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. The public must see the details of any agreement with Harris County before it is approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
