Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GATESVILLE ISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
School District Eyes ‘Main Street’ Real Estate Purchases
The Superintendent will provide an update on ‘potential Main Street purchases’ (Item 9.E). This could be a significant expenditure of taxpayer dollars on non-essential real estate, diverting funds that should be used for teachers and classroom instruction.
Response
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Gatesville ISD board. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 9.E, what is the educational purpose of purchasing Main Street property, and what is the total projected cost to taxpayers? This should not move forward without a clear justification.’
💰 Impact: Diverted Classroom Funds

District Plans ‘Strategic Action Plan’ Update in the Dark
The board is set to approve an ‘Updated Strategic Action Plan’ under Item 9.D, but the plan itself has not been made public. These types of plans are often vehicles for hiring expensive consultants or embedding controversial ideological goals (like DEI/SEL) into district policy outside of public view.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Gatesville ISD board (see official agenda for contact info). Ask: ‘Regarding Item 9.D, please publish the full Strategic Action Plan and any associated consultant contracts for public review before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees

Secret Library Book Purchases Up for Approval
Under Item 9.F, the board is voting to approve ‘Library Purchases’ without publishing the list of books for parental review. This process bypasses parents and prevents the community from ensuring new materials are age-appropriate and educationally valuable.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Gatesville ISD board. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 9.F, I request that the complete list of proposed library books be published online immediately so parents can review it before the board votes.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed ‘District Improvement Plans’ on Agenda
The board is voting on the 2026-2027 ‘District Improvement Plans’ (Item 9.C) without providing the documents to the public. These plans can contain major changes to curriculum, spending, and district priorities that taxpayers deserve to see before they are approved.
Response
DEMAND TO SEE THE PLAN: Contact the Gatesville ISD board. Ask: ‘Please postpone the vote on Item 9.C until the full District Improvement Plans are posted on the district website for public review.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Policy Changes
