📅 Tuesday, October 13, 2026 to Calendar

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

WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Campus and Department Plans

📅 October 13, 2026

The board is set to approve ‘Campus and Department Plan-On-A-Page’ documents without making them public in the agenda. These plans could contain significant policy changes, new spending, or ideological initiatives like DEI or SEL, hidden from public view until after the vote.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The ‘Campus and Department Plan-On-A-Page’ documents for Item 8.D must be made public before the vote. Contact the District Office and ask for these plans to be posted on the district website immediately.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague Library Book Purchase Order

📅 October 13, 2026

The board is voting to approve a ‘Proposed Library Acquisitions Order’ under Item 8.C without disclosing the list of books or the total cost to taxpayers. This prevents parents and community members from reviewing materials for age-appropriateness or ideological content before they are purchased with public funds.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda does not include the list of books in the ‘Proposed Library Acquisitions Order’ for Item 8.C. Contact the District Office and demand the full list be published online before the vote so parents can review it.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Content & Cost
