Potential Student Data Collection in New Health Program
📅 November 18, 2026
The district is considering a ‘Texas Opioid Prevention for Students (TOPS)’ program under item 6.C. While the goal is laudable, these programs can come with federal strings, mandating specific curricula or student surveys that collect sensitive data without full parental transparency.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Mason ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 6.C, the TOPS program, will this program involve student surveys or data collection? Please publish all grant agreements and curriculum materials for public review before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting
