In November 2021, those running for historically non-partisan city positions (e.g., school board) included signal phrases such as "conservative" and "Republican" in their campaign materials. Courtney Gore and Melanie Graft, who ran for and won positions on the school board, promised to "comb through educational materials for any signs of 'indoctrination' in the form of books or lesson plans that they charged promote LGBTQ ideology or what they referred to as critical race theory." In the 2015–2016 school year, the school district had a total of 6,971 students, ranging from early childhood and pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

A final draft calendar was presented to the Board for action at last night’s Board meeting. It may not be a well-known fact that dyslexia can affect up to 20 percent of a student population. It can, and that presents a significant number of students who struggle with dyslexia-related challenges, such as learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, to name a few. Kindergarten through 4th-grade students excitedly rotated through the school’s library where small groups sat with cadets in uniform and enjoyed hearing them read aloud. Kate Huddleston, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, commented that this "is very much evidence of anti-LGBTQ and particularly anti-trans discrimination." The Mission of the Abilene Independent School District is to provide exceptional educational opportunities in an environment that will produce graduates with the skills necessary to become productive, responsible citizens.
