Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming DALLAS ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |

Restrictive Rules Limit Public Comment at Board Meetings
Dallas ISD’s public participation policy, BED (Local), requires citizens to register to speak by 5:00 PM the day *before* a board meeting, creating a significant barrier for busy parents. The policy also allows the board to ban individuals from speaking for up to 90 days for vaguely defined ‘disruption,’ creating a chilling effect on public accountability.
Response
This policy is on the agenda as Item 1.02. Email the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees (contact info on the district website) and demand they reform Policy BED (Local). ‘The 5:00 PM registration deadline and 90-day speaking bans prevent working parents from holding you accountable. Public comment rules should encourage participation, not create bureaucratic hurdles.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

Vague ‘Theory of Action’ Discussion Could Hide Policy Shifts
The board is holding a ‘Discussion of the District’s Mission, Vision, and Theory of Action’ under Item 3.01. These vague, jargon-filled sessions are often precursors to adopting new controversial frameworks, such as those involving DEI or SEL, without clear public input.
Response
Email the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees (contact info on the district website) regarding Item 3.01. ‘What specific outcomes and policy changes are being considered under the ‘Theory of Action’ discussion? Taxpayers deserve a clear explanation, not educational jargon, before any new district-wide initiatives are developed.’
💰 Impact: Potential for Mission Drift
