Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming DEW ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Joining Regional Purchasing Cooperative
The board will vote on an ‘Interlocal Agreement’ to join the Region 10 Purchasing Cooperative. These agreements can limit local control by committing the district to a pre-approved list of vendors, potentially including ideological consultants, without a separate, transparent vote on each one.
Response
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 9, please provide a list of vendors available through the Region 10 Purchasing Cooperative and explain the vetting process. Will the board retain the right to reject cooperative vendors and seek open bids?’
💰 Impact: Reduced Local Control

Undisclosed ‘Local Improvement Plan’
The board is scheduled to discuss the ‘2026-27 Local Improvement Plan’ under Item 7. The agenda provides no details, attachments, or potential costs, preventing public review of new programs, spending, or curriculum changes before the vote.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the ‘Local Improvement Plan’ referenced in Item 7 to be posted online before the vote. ‘Taxpayers deserve to see the details and costs of any new ‘Improvement Plan’ before it is discussed.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
