Potential Spending Changes Hidden in Consent Agenda
📅 October 22, 2026
The board may approve budget amendments as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote under Item 3.E. This process prevents public discussion on potentially significant changes to how taxpayer money is spent, lumping it in with routine approvals.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Darrouzett ISD board and ask that Item 3.E, ‘Budget Amendments,’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being reallocated.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shifts

Vague ‘Long Range Planning’ Could Precede Major Spending
📅 October 22, 2026
The board will hold ‘Long Range Planning Discussions’ without any specific details or attachments provided in the agenda. These discussions often serve as the starting point for future bond issues, tax increases, or expensive consultant contracts that taxpayers will be expected to fund.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Darrouzett ISD board and ask for the specific topics and materials for Item 9, ‘Long Range Planning Discussions,’ to be made public. Taxpayers should be involved at the beginning of any plan that could lead to future debt or tax hikes.

💰 Impact: Future Tax Increases / Bond Debt
