WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Vague Exception to School Finance Law on Consent Agenda

📅 October 20, 2026

The board plans to approve a ‘Good Cause Exception’ to House Bill 3, the state’s major school finance law, as part of a bundled consent agenda. The district has not disclosed which requirement it is seeking to bypass, hiding a potentially significant policy change from public view and open discussion.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Montgomery ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand Item 5.F be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Ask: ‘What part of House Bill 3 is the district seeking an exception from, and why is this being passed without public explanation?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Change
