Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming RALLS ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Consultant ‘Partnership’ Costs Remain Undisclosed
📅 October 19, 2026
The district will receive an update on its ongoing ‘partnership’ with engage2learn, an external education consulting firm. These types of open-ended consulting agreements often come with high price tags and vague, unmeasurable goals, diverting funds that could be used for teacher salaries or classroom resources.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Ralls ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 6, what is the total annual cost of the engage2learn contract, and what specific, measurable academic improvements have resulted from this partnership?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees

Vague ‘Ag Mech Project’ Agreement Needs Scrutiny
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is set to approve a ‘Memorandum of Understanding for the Ag Mech project.’ The agenda provides no details or attached documents, leaving taxpayers in the dark about potential costs, liabilities, or commitments being made on their behalf.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district should publish the full Memorandum of Understanding for Item 9.B.1 before the vote. Contact the district office and ask for the document to be posted online so taxpayers can review any financial obligations.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Financial Commitments
