📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming IRION COUNTY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Undisclosed Items Bundled in Consent Agenda
📅 October 14, 2026
The board is voting on a ‘Consent Agenda’ without publicly listing the specific items being approved. This practice bundles potentially significant contracts or policy changes into a single vote, hiding them from public scrutiny and preventing discussion.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that all items on the ‘Consent Agenda’ (Item 6) be unbundled, discussed individually, and voted on with a roll-call vote. Taxpayers have a right to know what is being approved in their name.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending / Policy Changes
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Undisclosed Cost for Building Renovation Contract
📅 October 14, 2026
The board plans to approve a contract with ‘FLETCO’ for major renovations to the 1909 building without disclosing the cost to the public. This prevents taxpayers from knowing the financial impact of the decision before it is made.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) before the meeting. Ask for the proposed cost and funding source for the FLETCO contract under Action Item 8.2. ‘Taxpayers deserve to see the price tag before the board approves a major renovation contract.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
