Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LIBERTY HILL ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
District to Hire Law Firms for Social Media Lawsuit
The district plans to hire three law firms (Thompson & Horton, LLP, Eiland & Bonnin, PC and O’Hanlon, Demerath & Castillo, PC) on a contingency fee basis to join a multi-district lawsuit against social media companies. This represents a significant mission drift, diverting staff time and focus away from education to engage in complex, speculative litigation.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board and ask them to vote NO on Items 11.b and 11.c. ‘The core mission of LHISD is to educate children, not to engage in speculative lawsuits. Please vote against hiring these law firms and keep the district’s focus on the classroom.’
💰 Impact: Diverted Staff Resources

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Library Book Purchase
The board is scheduled to approve the purchase of new library books without providing a list of titles or vendors. This prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing the materials for age-appropriateness or ideological content before they are purchased with their money.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Liberty Hill ISD Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 9.a, I request that the full list of proposed library books, including titles and authors, be made public before any vote is taken. Parents and taxpayers have a right to review materials purchased for students.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Board Policy Changes Hidden from Public
The board is discussing changes to four local policies (BBF, BBI, BDAA, BBD) concerning board member ethics, powers, and duties. The actual text of these changes has not been made public in the agenda, preventing taxpayers from reviewing them before the vote.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The agenda for Item 7.b references policy updates without providing the text. Contact the District Office and demand the proposed changes to policies BBF, BBI, BDAA, and BBD be posted online for public review before any vote.
💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability
