DISCOVERY CONTROL PLAN LEVEL Plaintiffs intend that discovery be conducted under Discovery Level 2. II. PARTIES AND SERVICE A. Plaintiff, William R. Hussey is a resident ofILlano County, Texas, as well as a taxpayer residing within the boundaries of the Llano Independent School District. B. Plaintiff, Leticia Mccasland is a resident of Llano County, Texas, as well as a taxpayer residing within the boundaries of the Llano Independent School District. C. Plaintiff, Trevor Dupuy is a resident of Llano County, Texas, as well as a taxpayer residing within the boundaries of the Llano independent School District. D. Plaintiff, Thomas E. Allen is a resident of Llano County, Texas, as well as a taxpayer residing within the boundaries of the Llano Independent School District. E. Plaintiff, Julie J.

Hussey is a resident of Llano County, Texas, as well as a taxpayer residing within the boundaries of the Llano independent School District. G. Plaintiffs, Leticia McCasland and Julie J. Schmidt are parents of children enrolled in Llano Independent School District. H. Defendant, Llano Independent School District may be served with process by serving Mr. Casey Callahan, its Superintendent, at 1400 Oatman St., Llano, Texas 78643. Ill. JURISDICTION AND VENUE Jurisdiction and Venue are proper in this cause under Section of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code because the events or omissions giving rise to this lawsuit occurred in Llano County, Texas. IV. FACTS A. Defendant, Llano Independent School District utilized the CSCOPE curriculum management system for the 2012-2013 school year, as well as in several previous school years. B. According to the FAQ page from the CSCOPE website, as of June 1, 2013, (a copy Page 2 of 8 of which is attached as EXHIBIT A to this pleading and is incorporatedherein for all purposes): is a comprehensive online curriculum management system developed and owned by the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative a consortium composed of the 20 ESCs in the state. The CSCOPE system includes a curriculum framework for grades K-12 in all foundational academic subject areas aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills." C. SB 1406 was introduced during the 83'" Session of the Texas Legislature. According to the House Research Bill Analysis dated May 20, 2013, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT to this pleading and is incorporated herein for all purposes), the Subject of SB 1406 was identified as being "State Board of Education oversight of D. SB 1406 received a vote of two--thirds of all the members elected to each house. As provided by Section 39, Article ill of the Texas Constitution, SB 1406 became effective upon its signing by Governor Perry on June 14, 2013. E. Consequently, Section 8.0531 became part of the Texas Education Code on June 14, 2013. This statute reads as follows: INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS DEVELOPED BY A COLLABORATION OF REGIONAL EDUCATION SERVICE CENTERS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter or Section instructional lessons developed as part of a curriculum management system by a regional education service center, acting alone or in collaboration with one or more other regional education service centers, shall be subject to the same review and adoption process as outlined in Section 31.022. (Section 31.022 refers to the review and adoption process by the State Board of Education.) F. To date, the State Board of Education has neither reviewed nor adopted CSCOPE instructional lessons. G. in the June 19, 2013 edition of the Llano County Journal, Superintendent Casey Page 3 of 8 Callahan of the Llano independent School District stated that teachers, "if they feel it is the best tool out there," would be allowed to continue using CSCOPE lesson plans. (A copy of the June 19, 2013 Llano County Journal article is attached as EXHIBIT to this pleading and is incorporated herein for all purposes.) .Plaintiffs requested that undersigned counsel contact Superintendent Casey Callahan to inquire for proof that the Llano Independent School District has complied with Section 8.0531 of the Texas Education Code. As a result, a letter dated July 11, 2013 was faxed from undersigned counsel to Superintendent Callahan, and copies were provided to the Trustees of the School Board. (A copy of the July 11, 2013 letter is attached as EXHIBIT to this pleading and is incorporated herein for all purposes.) Superintendent Callahan responded by telephone to the July 11, 2013 letter; however, he politely reiterated his intent to allow Llano Independent School District teachers to utilize CSCOPE lesson plans as they see fit. . The July 31, 2013 edition of the Llano County Journal reported on the July 29, 2013 meeting of the Llano School Board. According to the article, Superintendent Callahan "announced the dlsbandment of the CSCOPE Curriculum Review Committee, which had met several times this year to discuss how the curriculum was being used and then potentially make recommendations to the board." Superintendent Callahan, according to the article, "said the committee's objectives were rendered mute after state Sen. Dan Patrick announced in May that all CSCOPE lesson plans would be scrapped by Aug. 31 of this year." The article continued, "He also said they would allow teachers to use existing lessons plans, as Page 4 of8 well as any other tools available, but added they will monitor the situation closely." (A copy of the July 31, 2013 Llano County Journal article is attached as EXHIBIT to this pleading and is incorporated herein for all purposes.) K. On August 8, 2013, undersigned counsel attempted to avoid the necessity of this litigation by speaking with Superintendent Callahan; however, Superintendent Callahan politely declined to forbid the use of CSCOPE lesson plans by the Llano Independent School District. V. REQUEST FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER and TEMPORARY INJUNCTION in light of the above-described facts, Plaintiffs seek recovery from Defendant. A. Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of this lawsuit because: 1. CSCOPE instructional lessons are clearly subject to Section 8.0531 of the Texas Education Code; and, 2. The State Board of Education has not approved CSCOPE instructional lessons pursuant to Section 31.022 of the Texas Education Code. B. Unless this Honorable Court immediately restrains the Defendant, the Plaintiffs will suffer immediate and irreparable injury, for which there is no adequate remedy at law to give Plaintiffs complete, final and equal relief. More specifically, Plaintiffs will show the court the following: 1. The 2013-2014 school year will commence later this month; 2. Given the stated position of its Superintendent, the Llano Independent School District will allow its teachers and staff to continue to use CSCOPE lesson plans, in violation of the Texas Education Code; Page 5 of8 3. This imminent harm will cause Plaintiffs irreparable injury in that children will be exposed to CSCOPE lesson plans, in violation of the Texas Education Code; and, 4. There is no adequate remedy at law which will give Plaintiffs complete, final and equal relief because of the commencement of the school year is approaching, and the Defendant will not voluntarily comply with the Texas Education Code regarding CSCOPE lesson plans. C. Plaintiffs request that Defendant be temporarily restrained immediately, without hearing, and after notice and hearing, be temporarily enjoined, pending further order of this Court, from: Allowing its employees, including but not limited to teaching staff, to utilize CSCOPE lesson plans until such time as said instructional lessons have been approved pursuant to Section 31.022 of the Texas Education Code. VI. BOND A. Plaintiffs are willing to post a reasonable temporary restraining order bond and requests the Court to set such bond. Vll. REQUEST FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT There exists a genuine controversy between the parties herein that would be terminated by the granting of declaratory judgment. Plaintiff therefore requests that declaratory judgment be entered as follows: A. CSCOPE lesson plans shall not be used by Llano independent School District without approval pursuant to Section 31.022 of the Texas Education Code. Page 6 of 8 FEES Pursuant to Section 37.009 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Plaintiffs are entitled to all costs, as well as reasonable and necessary attorney's fees incurred by Plaintiffs herein; however, undersigned counsel is working on this case pro bono publico. Consequently, for trial, Plaintiffs ask only for their court costs. Plaintiffs ask for all fees and costs necessary in the event of an appeal of this cause to the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Texas, as the Court deems equitable and just. PRAYER WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Plaintiffs pray that Defendant be cited to appear and answer herein. Plaintiffs pray that the Court immediately grant a Temporary Restraining Order restraining Defendant, in conformity with the allegations of this petition, from the acts set forth above, and Plaintiffs pray that, after notice and hearing, this Temporary Restraining Order be made a Temporary Injunction. Plaintiffs pray that on final trial hereof declaratory judgment be granted as requested herein and Plaintiffs be awarded costs and reasonable and necessary attorney's fees, and for such other and further relief that may be awarded at law or in equfly.

Updated January 11, 2013 CSCOPE is a comprehensive online curriculum management system developed and owned by the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative a consortium composed of the 20 ESCs in the state. The CSCOPE system includes a curriculum lramework for grades K-12 in all loundational academic subject areas aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. CSCOPE content is regularly updated based on all SBOE-adopted changes in the TEKS, as well as any relevant changes/interpretations of state standards and irom feedback collected through various stakeholder groups in the collaborative, including individual teacher submissions through the CSCOPE website and the School District Advisory Committee, comprised oi district representatives irom all participating regions oi the state. Participating school districts may also use the online CSCOPE system to customize andlor create content, as well as providing tor the inclusion oi locally approved or adopted supplemental resources. CSCOPE provides districts a common language, structure. and process for curriculum delivery, based on the TEKS. Curriculum components highlight the content and cognitive rigor of each student expectation that will be assessed on STAAR and ensure teachers are informed ol the depth and complexity to which they should be teaching. in addition to quality curriculum components and resources, CSCOPE provides assessment and instructional components to assist teachers in meeting the highest standard of rigor and relevance as they address the expectations. Required English Language Proiiclency Standards (ELPS) and College and Career Readiness Standards are embedded into the curriculum as well. The curriculum and instructional components of CSCOPE are based on best practice models irom top researchers in the iield ol education, including: Robert Marzano, English, John Crain, Heidi Hayes Jacobs, Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe, H. Erickson, and James Barufaldl. initial CSCOPE development began during the 2005-06 school year, with the 2006-07 school year designated as the lirst year of implementation. in 2006-07, there were 182 active CSCOPE districts in Texas. As of September 25, 2012, there are 875 active CSCOPE districts. This equates to approximately 70% oi the *districts in Texas. 'According to as of October 23, 2012, there were 1,247 districts in Texas (the full list includes Common. Independent, Texas Youth Commission, TSDITSBVI, and Charter School Districts). Suppod: each member-ESC provides standard andlor customizable plans of support tor participating school districts. CSCOPE is most ellective when implemented as a systemic process; therelore, supporting service centers work with schools to develop a deep understanding oi CSCOPE design and assist districts in establishing an implementation plan that best meets the needs oi each participating school During implementation, ESC stall provides ongoing CSCOPE training, support, and technical assistance. Content: CSCOPE provides TEKS--aligned and updated K-12 curriculum, assessment, and instruction components tor English and Spanish Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies (foundation curriculum). The CSCOPE system, including all content, is delivered to participating school districts in a web-based format. which also allows districts to customize content to address the unique district and community expectations and priorities.

Most school districts/systems do not have the human and financial resources (or the time) to create a vertically aligned K-12 curriculum, along with assessment and instructional components for all ol the loundational subject areas. CSCOPE not only meets this need, but also provides the curriculum. assessment, and instructional components in a customizable, dynamic. web-based lormat with many dilierent tools and resources to support implementation ellorts. Delivered with an ongoing system oi support and professional development through a member~ESC. it is no wonder that CSCOPE is an attractive option tor schools in Texas. What CSCOPE has done tor the teachers of Texas is to map out the curriculum. providing a scope and sequence that guarantees all TEKS will be taught. it also provides clarification/specillcity not found in reading the TEKS in isolation. Educational researchers sometimes reier to this specificity as "unpacking the standards,' or clarilying the content and cognitive specificity oi the knowledge and skills statements and student expectations. This is where we iind the rigor and relevance oi the TEKS, which is critical in preparing tor STAAR.

The CSCOPE system includes a curriculum framework for grades K-12 in all foundational academic subject areas aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), the state's DIGEST: SUPPORTERS SAY: SB 1406 House Research Organization page 2 public education curriculum. Initial CSCOPE development began during the 2005-06 school year, with the 2006-07 school year designated as the first year of implementation. In 2006-07, there were 182 active CSCOPE districts in Texas. As of September 25, 2012, there are 875 active CSCOPE districts. This equates to about 70 percent of districts in Texas and about 35 percent of students. Education Code, sec. 31.022, requires the State Board of Education (SBOE) to adopt a review-and-adoption cycle for instructional materials for each subject in the required curriculum for elementary grade levels, including prekindergarten, and secondary grade levels. SB 1406 would require instructional materials developed by a regional ESC, acting alone or in collaboration with other ESCS, to be subject to the review-and-adoption process for instructional materials outlined in Education Code, sec. 31.022. This bill would take immediate effect if finally passed by a two--thirds record vote of the membership of each house. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2013. SB 1406 would bring much-needed SBOE review of CSCOPE, an online system of lesson plans that was developed by the regional ESCS with no oversight, transparency, or accountability. The bill would not remove CSCOPE from districts that are using it but simply would bring the lesson plans under the same vetting process that the elected SBOE uses for textbooks and instructional materials. CSCOPE content was developed without parental input. In fact, parents have had to fight to learn the content of CSCOPE because teachers had been required to sign a contract not to disclose the content. This conflicts with Education Code, sec. 26.006, which assures parents the right to review teaching materials, instructional materials, and other teaching aids. If local districts need online lesson plans, they could use the services of the Texas Virtual School Network or other online curriculum approved by the Texas Education Agency, rather than CSCOPE. CSCOPE has supplied lesson plans that are flawed, incorrect, and raise concerns about promoting socialist, anti--American, and anti~Christian OPPONENTS SAY: SB 1406 House Research Organization page 3 values. Some teachers say it limits their flexibility and creativity. CSCOPE is supposed to be customizable by local districts, but some teachers say they are required to use it verbatim. Another concern is that the ESC collaborative used public funds to develop a product, then turned around and sold it to Texas schools. This means Texans' tax dollars are being spent twice for CSCOPE. Although CSCOPE officials recently have made a good faith effort to make their work more transparent, the requirement for SBOE review needs to be codified. CSCOPE officials have revised a user agreement to reassure teachers that they may share instructional materials with parents and in late March began a joint review of the social studies materials with the SBOE. However, this bill would ensure the transparency and public hearings provided by the SBOE's review process. In the past, the SBOE process has prevented textbook publishers from removing lessons about religious holidays such as Christmas and Rosh Hashanah and about famous Americans such as Neil and General Patton. CSCOPE should remove itself from supplying lesson plans to school districts and return to its original mission of supplying a management tool for teachers to keep on pace to teach the TEKS as required. SB 1406 could remove an important tool that helps school districts meet the expectations of ever-changing TEKS, of a more rigorous state testing and accountability system, and of efforts to improve student performance, all while faced with shrinking financial resources. CSCOPE was developed by teachers and retired teachers to meet the needs of many school districts that cannot afford their own curriculum development staff. One superintendent testified that it would cost his small school district more than $950,000 to develop lesson plans to cover 1,342 TEKS standards for grades 3-1 1. The bill would be a gross infringement on local authority. Parents have ever ri ht to raise issues about the wa lessons are bein tau rht, but those 8 in matters should be brought before local school boards and district officials. The bill would establish two classes of school districts, allowing those that can afford to develop their own lesson plans to be free from SBOE review. An advantage of CSCOPE is that it can be updated every year in response OTHER OPPONENTS SAY: SB 1406 House Research Organization page 4 to feedback from districts. That adaptability would be difficult to achieve under the cumbersome and SBOE textbook review process. Provisions in Education Code, sec. 31.022 state that the SBOE is not required to review and adopt instructional materials for all grade levels in a single year; they require the SBOE to organize a cycle for reviewing not more than one-quarter of the instructional materials for subjects in the foundation curriculum each biennium. It is inappropriate to review CSCOPE to see whether it supports or conflicts with specific political ideologies or religious beliefs. Students should receive the tools to evaluate the vast array of information and viewpoints they will encounter in life. Some supporters of SB 1406 have criticized CSCOPE as pro-Islam, but state education standards require students to study the central ideas of the world's major religions. And the SBOE has come under scrutiny in the past for its partisan debates over textbook language on topics such as evolution, environmental regulation, social studies, and sex education. The SBOE has appointed a committee to review the curriculum, beginning with 'social studies content. That process should be allowed to work before it is codified. SB 1406 'would fail to address the fundamental problem of the TEKS. They are far too voluminous and require the sort of framework provided- by CSCOPE. For a typical core subject in high school, more than 60 standards must be taught in fewer than 148 days. The SBOE should be reviewing the TEKS and reducing the massive amount of material that students are expected to learn. iuce is water supply for fence testimony l've iy relating to the pose to this I ve Ribera a sen- in prison -- the ientence for ag- iexual assault A defendant as the terms adjudication can be given um sentence me originally iaid that Ri- rged with of- st children in and Burnet 'cl sexual as- nf l'1ic1 While CS COPE lesson be renewed in Texas schools, questions still remain about how existing documents will FROM STAFF REPORTS controversial plans will not be used moving forward.
