🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Vague Discussion of “Senate Bill 12”
📅 Scheduled Action
The agenda lists a discussion of “Senate Bill 12” with no further details. This could be the board using district time and resources to take a political position on state law, rather than focusing on education.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to determine if the board is simply being briefed on a new law or preparing to take a formal, political position on it.

💰 Impact: Mission Drift

Undisclosed “Amendment to Guardian Plan”
📅 Scheduled Action
The board plans to amend the district’s “Guardian Plan,” which likely relates to armed staff for school safety. The agenda gives no details on whether this amendment strengthens or weakens campus security, preventing public input on a critical safety issue.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Edgewood ISD board and ask for the proposed text of the amendment to Item 6.E to be made public before the vote. Parents and taxpayers deserve to know the details of changes to school safety plans.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed School Safety Changes
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Financial Reports Bundled on Consent Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is set to approve all financial reports, including “CHECK DISBURSEMENTS,” in a single vote without discussion. This common practice can be used to hide questionable spending from public scrutiny.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Edgewood ISD board and ask that Item 5.B, specifically the Check Disbursements, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is going.

💰 Impact: Reduced Financial Transparency
