WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Requires Verification

Vague Policy Change Could Weaken Public Records Access
📅 October 19, 2026
The agenda lists a discussion on policy ‘CPC (LOCAL),’ which typically governs records management. Without the proposed text being made public, this could be an attempt to quietly introduce new fees, delays, or other obstacles for citizens requesting documents under the Texas Public Information Act.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Northside ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The public must see the proposed changes to policy CPC (LOCAL) before Item 2.J is discussed. Please post the draft policy online immediately so taxpayers can see how it affects their rights under the Texas Public Information Act.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Potential for Student Data Mining in Mental Health Update
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is receiving an ‘Update on Mental Health.’ These updates often serve as the introduction for new Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs or ‘climate surveys’ that collect sensitive student data, potentially without full parental transparency or consent.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Northside ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 2.E, please publish all materials related to the Mental Health Update online before the meeting. Parents have a right to know if new SEL programs, student surveys, or third-party vendors are being considered.’
