📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GODLEY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Public Comment Restricted to Agenda Items
📅 October 19, 2026
The district is enforcing a policy that limits all public comments strictly to items on the current meeting’s agenda. This rule prevents parents and taxpayers from raising other urgent concerns, such as emerging curriculum issues or safety problems, with the full board in a public forum.
Response

Contact the Godley ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Item 6 silences parents and taxpayers on emerging issues by restricting comment to agenda items only. I urge you to adopt a more open public comment policy that allows for discussion of any topic relevant to the district.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Library Book Purchase on Consent Agenda
📅 October 19, 2026
The district is approving a list of new library books as part of a bundled ‘consent agenda’ vote under Item 8.a.4. While the district states it followed the law by posting the list for 30 days, this bundled vote prevents a public discussion and recorded vote on potentially controversial materials.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The list of books for purchase is referenced but not included in the agenda. Before the meeting, find the list on the district website to see what materials are being approved. If any are concerning, email the Board to pull Item 8.a.4 from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote.

💰 Impact: Bypassing Public Scrutiny
