Secret Library Book Purchases
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is voting to procure new library materials without providing a public list of the titles being purchased. This process denies parents and taxpayers the opportunity to review materials for age-appropriateness or ideological content before tax dollars are spent.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the board and request that the complete list of ‘library materials proposed for procurement’ under Item IV.3 be made public immediately, allowing for community review prior to any vote.

💰 Impact: Inappropriate Content

Undisclosed Campus Improvement Plans
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve the 2026-2027 Campus Improvement Plans without making the documents public on the agenda. These plans can be a vehicle for introducing controversial programs like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or other ideological initiatives outside of public view.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Plainview ISD board and ask that the full text of all ‘Campus Improvement Plans’ under Item IV.1 be posted online for public review before the vote.

💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms
WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Blank Check for Employee Bonuses
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is considering a ‘One-Time Employee Incentive Payment’ without disclosing the total cost to the public. Approving an expenditure of unknown size is a failure of fiscal transparency and prevents taxpayers from knowing how their money is being spent.
Response

DEMAND THE PRICE TAG: Contact the board and ask for the total fiscal impact of the ‘One-Time Employee Incentive Payment’ in Item IV.6 to be stated publicly before any action is taken.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
