Local Alert

📅 Monday, October 19, 2026 to Calendar

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

ALERT (LEVEL 8)

District to Approve Official Legislative Lobbying Agenda

📅 October 19, 2026

The board is scheduled to vote on its official legislative priorities, which directs how the district will use taxpayer resources to lobby the Texas Legislature. This often involves advocating for policies that increase taxes or oppose parental rights and educational freedom.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Lake Dallas ISD Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 9.A, the district’s legislative priorities must be made public before the vote. Taxpayers have a right to know what policies you will advocate for in Austin using our money.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

WARNING (LEVEL 7)

Undisclosed Purchases Over $75,000 on Consent Agenda

📅 October 19, 2026

The board plans to approve purchases exceeding $75,000 as part of a single ‘consent’ vote, with no details provided in the agenda. This practice obscures significant spending from public view and prevents discussion on individual high-cost items.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Lake Dallas ISD Board. ‘I demand Consent Item 8.E, Purchases Over $75,000, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what is being purchased before it is approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed >$75,000
