Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming EDGEWOOD ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WATCH (LEVEL 3)
Public Comment Rules Create Barriers for Speakers
📅 October 20, 2026
The board’s policy requires citizens to sign up and submit all presentation materials to the Superintendent’s office hours before the meeting begins. This pre-clearance rule can discourage spontaneous public participation and prevent taxpayers from presenting timely information to the board.
Response

Contact the Edgewood ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Board Policy (BED) requiring pre-submission of all materials for public comment is a barrier to participation. Please reform this policy to allow citizens to present materials at the podium during their allotted time.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
