Secret Appointments to Health Advisory Council
The board is approving members for the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), which influences health and sex education curriculum. The district has not published the names of the proposed members, preventing public scrutiny of who will be shaping these sensitive policies.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the SSISD Board. ‘Who are the proposed SHAC members in Item 5.C? Postpone this vote until the community can review the qualifications and viewpoints of the nominees.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Parental Oversight

Federal Program Rules Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve seven policy documents for the federal Head Start program without individual discussion by bundling them on the Consent Agenda. These documents, which include bylaws and personnel policies, are not attached, preventing public review of any new mandates or strings attached to federal funds.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the SSISD Board. ‘Pull items 4.G through 4.M from the Consent Agenda for individual discussion. The public deserves to see the details of these federal Head Start policies before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Federal Mandates

Blank Check for New Library Books
The board is voting to approve the purchase of new books for campus libraries without providing a list of the titles for public review. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing what content is being added to school shelves with their tax dollars.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the SSISD Board. ‘Regarding Item 5.B, please provide the full list of proposed library books for public review before any vote is taken. Parents have a right to know what their children are reading.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Content in Libraries
