District to Spend $748k to Win $112k Federal Grant
The board plans to approve a USDA grant that requires a $748,322 ‘cash match’ from local taxpayers to receive just $112,248 in federal funds. This is a classic ‘federal trap,’ obligating local taxpayers to a massive new project that may come with permanent federal strings attached.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive waste of local funds. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Why are we spending over $748,000 of our money to get $112,000 from the federal government? Vote NO on Item V.D.’
💰 Impact: $748,322 Local Taxpayer Match

District Reinforces Ties to Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
The board is nominating a member to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and processing a $211,175 insurance claim through them. TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobbying group that consistently works against property tax relief and parental rights in Austin.
Response
Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘TASB lobbies against taxpayers with our own money. Please reconsider your membership and sever ties with this organization. Vote NO on any TASB nominations mentioned in Items III and IV.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees

Undisclosed Changes to Student Discipline Policy
The board is discussing updates to policy ‘FOC/FOCA’ concerning placement in Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs. The proposed changes are not included in the agenda, preventing parents and taxpayers from reviewing how student discipline rules might be altered.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item V.I, please postpone any discussion on FOC/FOCA policy changes until the full text of the proposed revisions is made public for community review.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Oversight

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Health ‘Collaboration’ Agreement
The agenda lists a ‘Collaboration Agreement’ with the American Heart Association under ‘Campus and District Health Reports.’ The details of this agreement, including any potential student data sharing or curriculum requirements, are not provided in the agenda packet.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item III.A to confirm whether it contains hidden data sharing or curriculum mandates.
💰 Impact: Potential Student Data Sharing
