Undisclosed Cost for Superintendent Search Firm

📅 November 2, 2026

The Hico ISD board will interview and hire a superintendent search firm to find the district’s next leader. These consultant contracts can be expensive, but the agenda does not disclose the cost to taxpayers. This is a critical moment for the public to demand transparency and ensure the chosen firm, which could be a taxpayer-funded lobbying group like TASB, will find a candidate who serves students and parents, not a political agenda.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Hico ISD board before the November 2nd meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding items IV.A, IV.B, and IV.C, what is the total cost for the superintendent search firm? Will the board commit to not using taxpayer-funded lobbying groups like TASB for this search?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees
