Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming FLOUR BLUFF ISD agenda and found 6 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Taxpayer Funds Sent to TASB Affiliate
The Board is set to approve the minutes from its August 27, 2026 meeting, which included a vote to purchase workers’ compensation insurance from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Risk Fund. This directs taxpayer dollars to an affiliate of TASB, an organization that actively lobbies the Texas Legislature for policies that increase taxes and reduce local control.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand Consent Item 9.A be pulled for a separate vote. Taxpayers should not be forced to do business with affiliates of an organization that lobbies against our financial interests.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Insurance Premiums

School Health Council May Lack Parent Majority
The board will approve members for the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), which influences curriculum on sensitive health topics. State law requires a majority of SHAC members to be parents not employed by the district, but the provided list does not clarify the status of all appointees, making it impossible to verify compliance.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 10.D, please confirm that the proposed SHAC membership complies with the parent-majority requirement in state law. Parents must be the primary voice on student health issues.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Oversight

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to approve the 2026-2027 District and Campus Improvement Plans, but the full text of these lengthy documents is not included in the agenda packet, only linked. These plans are often where districts embed controversial ideological goals related to ‘equity’ or ‘social-emotional learning’ (SEL) that are not transparently debated.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the files linked under Item 9.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain ideological initiatives. Search the documents for terms like ‘diversity, equity, inclusion,’ ‘social-emotional learning,’ or ‘restorative justice.’
💰 Impact: Potential Mission Drift

The board is being asked to approve out-of-state travel for the NJROTC program for the 2026-2027 school year. However, the attachment detailing the itinerary, cost, and educational purpose of the trips was not provided in the agenda packet.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached under Item 9.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the total cost to taxpayers and the educational justification for the NJROTC out-of-state travel.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Travel Costs

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to approve an out-of-state trip for the High School Choir to Boston, MA. The agenda does not include the attachment with the trip’s itinerary, total cost, or source of funding, preventing public oversight of the expense.

INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached under Item 10.G in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the total cost to taxpayers and the educational justification for the High School Choir trip to Boston.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Travel Costs

District Certifies Compliance with Anti-DEI Law
The Board is scheduled to formally approve and submit a certification to the Texas Education Agency confirming the district’s compliance with state law prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and activities. This action ensures the district remains focused on academics and accountable to taxpayers.
How to Lock It In
SECURE AND AMPLIFY: Show up to thank the Board for approving Item 10.E and formally committing to keep divisive DEI initiatives out of Flour Bluff schools. This sets a standard for other districts to follow.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Taxpayer Dollars
