WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Opaque ‘Modular Housing’ Purchase
📅 October 15, 2026
The board plans to approve the purchase of ‘modular housing’ with no details on the cost, funding source, or purpose. This could be a significant capital expense funded through a lease-purchase agreement or other debt that bypasses voters.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Quanah ISD board before the meeting. Ask for the total cost, funding source, and justification for the ‘modular housing’ purchase in Item F.1.b. Specifically ask if this involves a lease-purchase agreement or any form of debt.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost / Possible Debt
WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Undisclosed ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ for Elementary School
📅 October 15, 2026
The board will vote to approve a ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ for Reagan Elementary. These plans can be vehicles for state or federal mandates that introduce unwanted curriculum or create unfunded future costs, but the district has not published the plan for public review ahead of the vote.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Quanah ISD administration before the meeting. Ask for a copy of the ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ for Reagan Elementary mentioned in Item F.1.a. and ask what new curriculum, staffing, or data collection it requires.

💰 Impact: Potential Federal Strings
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Double Budget Amendments with No Details
📅 October 15, 2026
The board is set to approve two separate budget amendments without providing any public documents explaining what money is being moved, where it’s going, or why. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for taxpayers to see how their money is being reallocated mid-year.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Quanah ISD administration and ask for the details of Budget Amendment #1 and Budget Amendment #2 (Items F.1.c and F.1.d) to be posted online before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shifts
