📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming REG 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
New Board Members Chosen in Secret
📅 September 30, 2026
The board will interview and select replacements for two vacant seats entirely in a closed session. This process shuts the public out of vetting the candidates who will be appointed to represent them and oversee the agency’s budget and policies.
Response

DEMAND AN OPEN PROCESS: Contact the Region 4 ESC Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The selection of new board members in Item 3.C and appointments in Items 4.A and 4.B should be conducted in public. Taxpayers deserve a transparent process for choosing their representatives.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Accountability
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Secret Land Deal Deliberations
📅 September 30, 2026
The board is moving into a closed session to discuss purchasing real estate for a new warehouse. This prevents taxpayers from hearing the debate over the cost, location, and necessity of this major purchase until the final vote is a mere formality.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Region 4 ESC Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The public deserves to hear the debate on the real estate purchase in Item 3.B. Hold the full discussion in open session before any vote is taken.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Property Cost
