Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SALADO ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Improvement Plans Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve ‘Campus and District Improvement Plans’ by bundling them on the consent agenda, a tactic used for non-controversial items. These plans are often where districts embed ideological frameworks like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI without public debate.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Salado ISD board (see official agenda for contact info). ‘Pull Item VIII.b from the consent agenda for a separate discussion and vote. The public deserves to see the full text of these ‘improvement plans’ before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |

Blank Check for Mid-Year Budget Changes
The board plans to vote on unspecified ‘Budget amendments’ with no supporting documentation attached to the public agenda. This prevents taxpayers from seeing how their money is being reallocated, potentially to fund new programs or priorities that were never debated.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Salado ISD board. ‘Regarding Item IX, please publish the detailed budget amendments for public review before any vote is taken. Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is going.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Secretive Changes to Employee Pay Plan
The board will vote on ‘Amendments to the 2026-2027 Compensation Plan’ without providing the proposed changes to the public. This lack of transparency could conceal the creation of new, high-cost administrative roles or other significant changes to district payroll funded by taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Salado ISD board. ‘Before voting on Item X, please release the full text of the proposed amendments to the Compensation Plan so the public can see what changes are being made.’
💰 Impact: Potential Staffing Bloat
