Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GREENVILLE ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Vendor List on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a list of vendors as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote, without public disclosure of who is on the list. This could conceal contracts with ideological consultants for programs like DEI or SEL without a separate public discussion.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Greenville ISD Board (see district website for contact info). ‘Please pull Item VIII.D, the Vendor List, from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. The public deserves to know who the district is paying before a vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Contracts

Board to Appoint New Trustee, Bypassing Voters
The Board of Trustees will appoint a person to fill the vacancy for Single-Member District 5, rather than holding a special election. This means the current board members, not the voters of District 5, will choose their new representative.
Response
DEMAND A SPECIAL ELECTION: Contact the Greenville ISD Board (see district website for contact info). ‘Regarding Item XI.D, the voters of District 5 deserve to choose their own representative. Please hold a special election instead of making an appointment.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing a Special Election

Board to Consider Ending Corporate Tax Break
The board will vote on terminating a major property tax abatement agreement (an old Chapter 313 deal) with HP Hood LLC. Ending this corporate welfare handout would restore the company’s property to the tax rolls, easing the burden on local homeowners.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT THIS VOTE: Contact the Greenville ISD Board (see district website for contact info) before the Oct 19 meeting. ‘Please vote YES on Item XI.A to terminate the tax agreement with HP Hood. Thank you for putting homeowners ahead of corporate welfare.’
