📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CLIFTON ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Board to Appoint Replacement for Vacant Seat
📅 October 19, 2026
The board will discuss potential candidates to fill a vacant trustee position in a closed executive session. Appointing a replacement, rather than holding a special election, allows a small group of officials to choose a representative without direct voter input.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Clifton ISD Board of Trustees. Ask that the process for filling the board vacancy under Item 12.B.1 be conducted in open session and that the board consider holding a special election to let voters choose their own representative.

💰 Impact: Bypassing Voters
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Review of Proposed Library Book Purchases
📅 October 19, 2026
The board will vote to approve a new list of library materials. While the district provides a public review process, parents should verify the content of these proposed books to ensure they are age-appropriate and free from politicized material before the board spends taxpayer money on them.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Before the meeting, visit https://www.cliftonisd.org/page/school-libraries to review the proposed book list for Item 7. If you find concerning materials, use the ‘Proposed List Feedback Form’ and contact the board to demand this item be discussed and voted on separately.

💰 Impact: Politicized Classroom Materials
