📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CRANFILLS GAP ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbyist Training for School Board
📅 November 2
The board will receive training from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), an organization that actively lobbies the state legislature against taxpayer interests like property tax relief and educational freedom. This uses local funds and staff time to reinforce an agenda that may not align with the community’s values.
Response

Contact the Cranfills Gap ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding the training noted in Item 6.A.5, why is the district using resources for training from TASB, a group that lobbies against parents and taxpayers? Please seek training from organizations that support fiscal responsibility and parental rights.’

💰 Impact: Alignment with Anti-Taxpayer Lobby
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Vague ‘Good Cause Resolution’ Hides Potential Policy Change
📅 October 13, 2026
The board is scheduled to vote on a ‘Good Cause Resolution’ with no further explanation or attached documents provided in the public agenda. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from knowing what policy is being changed or what commitment is being made before the vote.
Response

Contact the Cranfills Gap ISD Board (see district website for contact info) before the meeting: ‘What is the substance of the ‘Good Cause Resolution’ in Item 5.A? The public deserves to see the full text of any resolution before the board votes on it.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Change
