Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LAKE WORTH ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Required Financial Disclosures Not Provided
The agenda lists a ‘Taxpayer Impact Statement’ and ‘Official Budget’ as required attachments under Item 12, but the documents are not included with the agenda text. This prevents the public from reviewing critical financial information before the meeting.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The agenda references a ‘Taxpayer Impact Statement’ and ‘Official Budget’ under Item 12. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand these critical financial documents be posted publicly well in advance of the meeting.
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Budget Amendment on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve ‘Budget Amendment #2’ without discussion by placing it on the consent agenda (Item 7.C). The agenda provides no details or attached documents explaining what money is being moved, from where, or for what purpose.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Lake Worth ISD Board. ‘Regarding Item 7.C, Budget Amendment #2, please publish the full details of this amendment online before the meeting. This item should be pulled from the consent agenda for full public discussion.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Changes

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Consulting Contract on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a purchase order over $50,000 with ‘Candor Consulting’ as part of a bundled consent agenda (Item 7.E). This prevents public discussion on what services are being purchased and with what taxpayer-funded deliverables.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Lake Worth ISD Board. ‘I request that Consent Item 7.E, specifically the purchase order for Candor Consulting, be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what this consultant is being paid for before you approve it.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
