📍 Drive to MCLEAN ISD Office   📅 Monday, October 19, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MCLEAN ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Public Comment Limited to Five Speakers
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is restricting public comment to a maximum of five people per meeting, with a three-minute time limit each. This policy can prevent taxpayers and parents from addressing their elected officials on important issues before votes are taken.
Response

Contact the McLean ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). Ask them to remove the arbitrary five-person limit on public comment under Item 2. ‘Every taxpayer and parent who takes the time to show up deserves the right to be heard.’

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

Undisclosed Library Book Purchase List
📅 October 19, 2026
The board plans to vote on a ‘presented list of library books for purchase,’ but the list itself has not been made public with the agenda. This prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing the books for age-appropriateness or controversial content before they are approved.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The ‘presented list of library books’ for Item 6.b was not included in the agenda packet. Contact the McLean ISD administration and demand the list be published online for public review before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
