📍 Drive to MIAMI ISD Office   📅 Monday, October 19, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MIAMI ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Partnership with Google and Power Company
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is holding a ‘discussion’ on a partnership with Intersect Power and Google, with no details provided to the public beforehand. This lack of transparency raises questions about potential corporate welfare, tax abatements, or agreements that could compromise student data privacy.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 4.B, what are the terms of the proposed partnership with Google and Intersect Power? Taxpayers deserve to see the full agreement before any action is taken.’

💰 Impact: Student Data Risk
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Financial Report Withheld from Public Until Meeting
📅 October 19, 2026
Under Consent Agenda Item 5.D, the ‘Activity Fund Balances’ report is not included in the public agenda packet. The agenda explicitly states, ‘This will be at the meeting,’ preventing any public review or scrutiny of the financials before the board votes to approve them.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘All financial documents, including Item 5.D, should be posted with the public agenda. Withholding reports until the meeting undermines accountability.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Oversight
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Student Health Advisory Council Appointments
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is approving members for the Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC). These councils can have significant influence over sensitive health and sex education curriculum, often with minimal parental oversight.
Response

ASK FOR THE ROSTER: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.A, please provide the names of the proposed SHAC members and the process for their selection. Parents have a right to know who is advising the district on student health.’

💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Input
