Local Alert

📅 Tuesday, October 13, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WELLINGTON ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Blank Check Budget Amendments

📅 October 13, 2026

The board plans to vote on unspecified ‘budget amendments’ without disclosing the dollar amounts or the purpose of the changes. This common practice prevents taxpayers from seeing how their money is being reallocated before the board makes a final decision.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Wellington ISD board and ask that Item III.C, ‘Approve budget amendments,’ be tabled until a detailed breakdown of all proposed changes is made public. Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is going.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague ‘Wellness Policy’ Could Hide SEL Content

📅 October 13, 2026

The board is scheduled to take action on a ‘Wellness Policy’ under item III.B, but the text of the policy has not been made public with the agenda. These policies can be used to introduce Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or other non-academic programming into schools without full parental review.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask that the proposed ‘Wellness Policy’ for Item III.B be posted online immediately so parents can review it before the vote.

💰 Impact: Mission Drift
