Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SAN ANTONIO ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
District Adopts Vague ‘Social Emotional’ Goal
📅 October 19, 2026
Buried in the summary for the financial report, the district formally adopted a goal to ‘Improve Social Emotional Readiness in all Students.’ The standard for measuring this is listed as ‘to be determined,’ creating a vague, non-academic mandate without clear metrics or costs.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Use the public comment period for Item 2 to ask the board: What is the ‘SAISD Standard for Social Emotional Readiness’? Who is determining it, what will it measure, and what curriculum or consultants will be used to achieve this goal?

💰 Impact: Mission Creep
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

How to Lock It In

SECURE THE WIN: During the public hearing for Item 2, thank the board and administration for their sound financial stewardship. This public recognition reinforces the high standard for fiscal responsibility that taxpayers expect.
