Board to Vote on Secret Changes to Grievance Policies
The board is scheduled to approve updates to multiple policies governing parent, student, and public complaints (DGBA, FNG, GF), including an amendment to the District of Innovation plan on grievances. The proposed new text for these policies has not been made public, preventing parents and taxpayers from seeing how their rights to hold the district accountable might be changing.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Prairiland ISD board immediately. ‘Postpone the vote on policy updates DGBA(Local), FNG(Local), GF(Local) and the DOI grievance amendment. The public must be able to review the proposed changes to complaint policies before you vote on them.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parent & Taxpayer Rights

Board May Cede Authority on Sale of Public Property
The board will vote on a resolution to give the Superintendent sole authority to sign for the sale of school property. This removes the requirement for the elected board to approve each sale in a public meeting, reducing transparency and accountability for the disposal of taxpayer-owned assets.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The resolution is not public. Contact the Prairiland ISD board and ask: ‘Regarding the resolution to allow the Superintendent to sign for property sales, please publish the full text. The elected board, not staff, should approve the sale of public assets in an open meeting.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Public Oversight

The board will vote to approve two new policies for the Prairiland Police Department, 1.14 and 1.15. The content of these policies has not been disclosed, leaving the public in the dark about potential changes to law enforcement procedures affecting students and staff.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Prairiland ISD board. ‘Before voting on Prairiland Police Department Policies 1.14 and 1.15, please make the full text of the proposed policies public for review.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Police Procedures
