Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming AUBREY ISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Seeks Exception to Armed Officer Mandate
The board will vote on a resolution to exempt the district from the state law requiring an armed security officer on every campus. This item is on the consent agenda, meaning it could pass without public discussion, directly impacting student safety and the district’s compliance with House Bill 3.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘I demand Item 9.D be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a recorded roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know where each trustee stands on having an armed officer at every school.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Campus Security
|
| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Appointment of Health Council Members
The board is appointing members to the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), which influences health and sex education curriculum. The agenda does not list the proposed members, preventing public review of their qualifications or potential biases before they are approved on the consent agenda.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Please release the names and qualifications of the proposed SHAC members in Item 9.E before the meeting so the public can review them. These appointments should not be hidden on a consent agenda.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Curriculum Influence

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Use of School Safety Grant Funds
The board is deciding how to spend state ‘SAFE Grant’ funds for school security. Without a detailed plan, taxpayers cannot know if the money is for effective, one-time upgrades or for recurring costs that will fall to local taxpayers when the grant runs out.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding Item 14.E, please provide a detailed breakdown of how the SAFE Grant funds will be used before the vote. Taxpayers need to know the long-term cost implications of these decisions.’
💰 Impact: Future Unfunded Mandates
|
| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Budget Amendment — Manual Review Required
The board will vote on a budget amendment, but the agenda provides no details on what is being changed, how much money is involved, or the reason for the change. This lack of transparency makes public oversight of taxpayer funds impossible.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 14.A attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see where taxpayer money is being moved. Email the Board: ‘What is the fiscal impact and purpose of Budget Amendment #102026?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
