Parent asks board for transparency on 'Bluebonnet' curriculum and teacher input
Summary
A parent addressing the Fort Sam Houston ISD board asked how teachers were involved in adopting the Bluebonnet curriculum, why practice-test scores were not broadly shared, and whether a March vote on the curriculum would occur; the parent said parents should be informed if a curriculum has a biblical background.
During public comment, a parent listed in the sign-in as Jennifer Cummings urged the board for greater transparency around the district's proposed Bluebonnet curriculum and asked whether teachers had opportunities to weigh in and whether results from recent practice tests would be shared with parents.
Cummings asked why teachers would be instructed not to share practice-test scores "unless they were asked for the results," and asked when the district would communicate curriculum information to parents. She also said she had heard the state-approved curriculum has a biblical background and requested clarification before a reported March vote.
The board did not deliberate on the curriculum during public comment; the presiding officer reminded commenters that the board may not decide on non-agenda items during the public-comment period and that any formal decision would come during an agenda item.
