District to Adopt Official Lobbying Platform
The board will vote to approve its official list of legislative demands for the 90th Texas Legislature under Item 6.G. This is taxpayer-funded lobbying, using district resources to influence state-level politics, often in ways that oppose taxpayer interests like property tax relief or educational freedom.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Luling ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 6.G, the district’s proposed legislative priorities must be published for public review before the vote. Taxpayers have a right to know what political positions are being advocated for with our money.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Vague ‘Improvement Plan’ — Manual Review Required
The board is approving a ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ for the high school. While required for accountability, these plans can be used to introduce controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI-related consultants and programs without specific board approval for those components.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 6.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ does not include contracts for SEL/DEI consultants or mandate new ‘climate surveys’ for students.
💰 Impact: Potential SEL/DEI Programs

|
Vague ‘Readiness Plan’ — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve a ‘College, Career, and Military Readiness Plan.’ These plans can sometimes be vehicles for embedding ideological frameworks, such as ESG-style career pathing or DEI-focused ‘readiness’ metrics, instead of focusing purely on academic and vocational skills.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to review the ‘Readiness Plan.’ Ensure the goals are focused on academic achievement and practical skills, not social or political metrics.
💰 Impact: Potential Ideological Frameworks
