Security Plans Discussed in Secret Session
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will meet in a closed session to discuss security personnel, devices, and audits, citing a legal exception for security matters. While protecting specific security details is legitimate, this process can also be used to make major spending decisions without public input or transparency on the costs.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Refugio ISD board. ‘While security details must be confidential, any vote to spend taxpayer money on new personnel or devices as a result of the discussion in Item 4.A must be held in open session, with the costs and contracts made public before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Security Spending
