Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming COLDSPRING-OAKHURST CISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Spending Over $50,000 on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve all expenditures over $50,000 in a single, un-debated vote as part of the consent agenda. Bundling these large, unspecified payments prevents public scrutiny of where significant taxpayer money is going and to which vendors.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees and demand that Item 7.G, ‘Expenditures Greater Than $50,000,’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for individual discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is being spent before it’s approved.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |

Budget Amendment Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a budget amendment as part of a bundled vote, with no details provided in the public agenda. This process obscures changes to the district’s financial plan, preventing public oversight on how taxpayer funds are being reallocated mid-year.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board of Trustees and ask that Item 7.I, ‘Budget Amendment,’ be removed from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation and separate vote. The public has a right to understand any changes to the taxpayer-funded budget.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Fund Reallocation
