Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CROSS ROADS ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Budget Amendment
The board will vote on ‘budget amendment number two.’ These amendments can shift significant funds without public scrutiny, potentially funding new programs or covering overspending. The district has not provided the details of the amendment for public review prior to the meeting.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Cross Roads ISD administration: ‘Before the board votes on Item 10, the budget amendment, please post the full document online so taxpayers can see where their money is being moved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague ‘SHAC Committee’ Agenda Item
The board will ‘Consider the SHAC Committee.’ School Health Advisory Councils (SHACs) can influence controversial policies on health curriculum and student surveys. Without details, it is unclear what changes are being considered or voted on.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Cross Roads ISD administration before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 9, what specific action is the board considering for the SHAC committee? Please provide the public with any supporting documents or proposed changes before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

| Win (LEVEL 5) |

Opportunity to Secure Taxpayer Savings
The board is scheduled to ‘Discuss Budget Savings.’ This is a positive opportunity for the board to identify and lock in real savings for taxpayers, potentially leading to lower future tax rates or paying down debt.
How to Lock It In
ENCOURAGE & AMPLIFY: Show up to support the ‘Budget Savings’ discussion under Item 11. Email the board: ‘Thank you for discussing budget savings. Please turn this discussion into a concrete action plan to lower the tax burden on Cross Roads ISD families.’
