Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MIDLOTHIAN ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Blank Check for District Security Systems
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is set to approve a ‘Guaranteed Maximum Price’ for district-wide security systems without disclosing the dollar amount on the public agenda. This commits taxpayers to a major expense without a clear price tag being presented upfront.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Midlothian ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask: ‘What is the Guaranteed Maximum Price for Item XIII.C? Taxpayers deserve to know the cost of the district-wide security systems before the Board approves the contract.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Major Expense
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Cost for Staff Technology Purchase
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote to purchase new technology devices for staff, but the agenda does not disclose the total cost to taxpayers. The district also plans to ‘consign’ old devices, but the terms and financial return of this arrangement are not specified.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Midlothian ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask: ‘Regarding Item XIII.B, what is the total cost of the new technology devices, and what are the financial terms of the consignment agreement for the old devices? This information should be public before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
