New K-8 English Textbook Selection Process Begins
The district is starting the process to adopt new English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR) textbooks for the 2027-2028 school year. This is the critical window for parents to get involved and ensure new materials focus on academic excellence, not political agendas, before the final board vote in March 2027.
Response
GET INVOLVED EARLY: Mark your calendar for the tentative Instructional Material Hearing on Saturday, January 18, 2027. Contact the Laredo ISD administration to ask when and where the proposed textbook materials will be available for public review before the committee votes.
💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms

Open-Ended ‘Environmental Consultant’ Contracts
The district is set to approve contracts with four ‘environmental engineering’ firms without a defined scope of work or a total cost cap. Under RFQ #2026-005, costs will be determined ‘on a project by project basis,’ creating a blank check that could lead to uncontrolled spending.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Laredo ISD board. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 2, RFQ #2026-005, what specific projects are planned for these environmental consultants, and what is the total estimated cost? Taxpayers deserve a clear scope and a spending cap, not a blank check.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed / Blank Check
