Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for WIMBERLEY ISD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secret Spending Vote Hidden on Consent Agenda
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
Buried in the ‘Consent Agenda’ for a quick, no-discussion vote is ‘Budget Amendment #8’ (Item 8.I). The district has not attached the document, so parents and taxpayers have no idea what money is being moved, where it’s going, or what it’s for. This is how surprise funding for DEI consultants, SEL programs, or other non-academic spending gets approved without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees. ‘I demand Item 8.I, Budget Amendment #8, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. The public deserves to see the amendment and hear the Board’s justification before any money is moved.’ Chapter members should verify Board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Secret Pay Plan Vote
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The Board is scheduled to vote on the entire 2026-2027 district compensation plan (Item 5.A), but the actual plan detailing salaries and new positions has not been attached to the public agenda. Parents and taxpayers have no way of knowing if this plan includes funding for positions like DEI coordinators or stipends for ‘equity leads’ before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees. ‘I demand Item 5.A, the 2026-2027 Compensation Plan, be tabled until the full document is made public for review. The Board must not vote on a secret pay plan.’ Chapter members should verify Board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed. The entire district compensation plan.

Funding the Austin Swamp: Appointing a Lobbyist to TASB
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The Board is appointing a delegate to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Delegate Assembly (Item 5.C). TASB is a powerful lobbying group in Austin that frequently opposes parental rights, school choice, and curriculum transparency bills. This delegate will use their position to vote on TASB’s official legislative agenda, which our tax dollars indirectly support. We must ensure our district’s representative votes to protect parents, not the education bureaucracy.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Sign up for public comment. ‘Before you vote on Item 5.C, I demand to know how the chosen delegate will vote on TASB’s Advocacy Agenda. Will they commit, on the record, to opposing any TASB platform that undermines parental rights or promotes ideological agendas?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Participation in taxpayer-funded lobbying.

Federal Grant Funds Student Intervention System
The district is accepting $18,585 in federal Title IV funds specifically to pay for implementing a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ (MTSS) at Blue Hole Primary (Item 3.A). MTSS is a framework that allows schools to label students for behavioral or academic ‘interventions’ and collect data on them, often without specific parental consent for each step. It’s a pipeline for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and can lead to a child being put on a ‘plan’ you know nothing about.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Assistant Superintendent Michelle Turek at michelle.turek@wimberleyisd.net. ‘Regarding Item 3.A, what specific SEL curriculum and data-tracking platform will be used for the MTSS implementation at Blue Hole Primary? I demand to know how parents can opt their children out of all MTSS screenings and interventions before this grant is accepted.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $18,585 (Federal Strings Attached)

Using New Law to Slow Down Public Information Requests
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
A new state law limits how many ‘non-business days’ a school district can claim to delay responding to Public Information Act (PIA) requests. The Board is voting under the Consent Agenda (Item 8.G) to designate the maximum 10 days allowed by this new law, strategically placing them during winter and spring breaks. This ensures that any requests filed by parents before a holiday break will be delayed as long as legally possible.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a legal, but telling, move to maximize delays in transparency. Note this for future reference when filing PIA requests.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Delayed access to public information.
