📍 Drive to BUFFALO ISD Office   📅 Monday, October 19, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming BUFFALO ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Undisclosed Employee Bonuses on the Agenda
📅 October 19, 2026
The board plans to approve ’employee retention incentives’ without disclosing the total cost to taxpayers or the source of the funds. Using one-time federal grant money for permanent pay increases can create a ‘fiscal cliff’ that leads to future property tax hikes.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Buffalo ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Before voting on Item 7, please state the total cost of the employee incentives and confirm the source of funds. Taxpayers deserve to know if this is a sustainable expense.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed / Potential Fiscal Cliff
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Committee to be Approved for Selecting Student Textbooks
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is voting to approve the members of the ‘Instructional Materials Selection Committee.’ This committee will decide which textbooks and learning materials are purchased, creating a powerful chokepoint for ideological or politically biased content to enter classrooms.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Buffalo ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Regarding Item 6, please publicly list the names and qualifications of the proposed committee members and the rubric they will use to evaluate materials before you approve the committee.’

💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms
