Local Alert

📅 Monday, October 19, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GROESBECK ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

ALERT (LEVEL 8)

District Proposes Illegally Delaying Public Records

📅 October 19, 2026

The board will vote on a resolution to designate ‘non-business days’ to slow down responses to Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) requests. While a new state law allows for 10 extra days off per calendar year, the district’s proposal in Exhibit A lists far more, creating illegal delays for parents and taxpayers seeking public information.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Groesbeck ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info). ‘Regarding Consent Item XII.E, the proposed list of non-business days in Exhibit A appears to exceed the 10-day annual limit set by state law. Please amend this resolution to comply with the law or vote NO. Taxpayers have a right to timely access to public records.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

Vague Title — Manual Review Required

📅 October 19, 2026

The board is set to approve the quarterly investment report on its consent agenda, but the report itself was not included in the publicly available agenda packet. This document details how the district is investing taxpayer funds and must be checked for policies that prioritize political agendas over financial returns.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item XII.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria for investments, which prioritize politics over fiduciary duty to taxpayers.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
