📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming FT SAM HOUSTON ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Board Sets Restrictive Tone on Public Participation
📅 October 14, 2026
The agenda opens with a lengthy statement clarifying the meeting is ‘in front of the public, not for the public,’ and that only board members should speak outside of designated comment time. This, combined with a rule requiring public comment sign-up no later than five minutes before the meeting starts, creates a chilling effect on citizen engagement and accountability.
Response

Contact the Ft. Sam Houston ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact methods): ‘Regarding the statements in Items 1 and 3 of the October 14 agenda, the public’s role is not just to be a silent audience. Please foster a more welcoming and collaborative tone toward taxpayer input.’
