Local Alert

📅 Monday, October 12, 2026 to Calendar

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

WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Changes on Consent Agenda

📅 October 12, 2026

The board plans to approve a budget amendment as part of a bundled ‘consent agenda,’ a tactic often used to pass spending changes without public discussion. This could hide new spending or shift funds to controversial programs without a specific, transparent vote.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Itasca ISD board and demand that Item F.3, the Budget Amendment, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how their money is being moved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Campus Improvement Plans Up for Vote Without Public Review

📅 October 12, 2026

The board is scheduled to approve the District and Campus Improvement Plans, but the documents have not been made public with the agenda. These plans are often where controversial curricula and initiatives like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI are embedded, bypassing direct parental oversight.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Itasca ISD administration and demand that the full text of the District and Campus Improvement Plans under Item G.1 be posted online for public review before the vote. Ask your trustee: ‘Do these plans contain SEL or DEI mandates?’

💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms
