📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GONZALES ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Surprise Spending on Unbudgeted Demolition Project
📅 November 2, 2026
The board plans to approve a contract and a budget amendment for an ‘unbudgeted’ demolition project at Apache Field. The agenda does not disclose the cost of the contract or the source of the funds for the amendment, bypassing the normal budget process and hiding the price tag from taxpayers.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Gonzales ISD Board: ‘Vote NO on Item 6.B until the full cost of the demolition contract and the source of funds for the budget amendment are disclosed to the public. Taxpayers deserve to know the price tag before you approve unbudgeted spending.’

💰 Impact: Unbudgeted Spending
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Vague Start to Major Renovation Project
📅 November 2, 2026
The board is deciding on the contracting method for the ‘Apache Field Renovation Project,’ a potentially major capital expense. While the final contract will come back for a vote, the district has not provided the presentation slides that detail the options, preventing public review of this crucial first step.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: The agenda for Item 6.A references presentation slides on construction delivery methods but does not include them. Contact the District Office: ‘Please publish the slides for the Apache Field Renovation Project so taxpayers can understand the financial implications of each delivery method before the board votes.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Project Cost
