📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming COMMUNITY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Superintendent Finalist to be Named in Secret
📅 November 18, 2026
Under Agenda Item 5.A, the board will name a ‘lone finalist’ for Superintendent, a process allowed by state law that keeps the names and qualifications of all other candidates secret from the public. This prevents taxpayers from knowing who else was considered or if the board selected the best possible candidate from the pool.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Attend the meeting and speak on Item 5.A. Urge the board to release the names and qualifications of at least the top 3-5 candidates before naming a lone finalist. Taxpayers deserve to see the field of candidates for this critical role.

💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Public Comment Restricted to Agenda Items Only
📅 November 18, 2026
The board’s policy under ‘BED Local’ limits public comment exclusively to items on the current agenda. This prevents taxpayers and parents from raising other urgent concerns or holding the board accountable for issues not of their own choosing.
Response

DEMAND OPEN COMMENT: Contact the Community ISD Board. ‘Policy BED Local, which restricts public comment to agenda items only, silences taxpayers. I urge you to revise this policy to allow for open comment on any topic relevant to the district.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
