Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming BLOOMING GROVE ISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague “Bond” Item Hidden on Consent Agenda
A single-word item, “Bond,” is listed on the consent agenda, meaning it could be approved without any public discussion. This extreme lack of transparency could conceal actions related to new debt, refinancing, or significant financial commitments that impact future property taxes.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: Show up to the meeting and demand that Item 3.5, ‘Bond,’ be pulled from the consent agenda and explained in full. Taxpayers have a right to know the details of any bond-related action before a vote.
💰 Impact: New Debt Without Scrutiny

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vote on Undisclosed District & Campus Plans
The board is scheduled to approve the district and campus improvement plans for the year. These documents often contain mandates for specific curricula, staff training, or programs like Social Emotional Learning (SEL) that are not clearly disclosed on the agenda.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Blooming Grove ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Before the vote on Item 4.1, please make the full text of the Campus and District Improvement Plans publicly available. Parents must be able to review them for hidden curriculum mandates.’
💰 Impact: Hidden SEL/DEI Mandates

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Library Book List on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a new list of library materials without public discussion by placing it on the consent agenda. This prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing the books for age-appropriateness or ideological content before they are purchased with district funds.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Blooming Grove ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 3.3, please publish the proposed list of library materials online before the vote. This item should be pulled from the consent agenda for a full discussion.’
💰 Impact: Politicized School Libraries
|
| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Budget Amendment on Consent Agenda
The board is voting on a budget amendment as part of a bundled ‘consent agenda,’ which means it could pass without individual discussion. This process can obscure significant changes in how taxpayer money is being spent.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Blooming Grove ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘I request that Item 3.2, the Budget Amendment, 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
