Spending Details Hidden on Consent Agenda
📅 November 16, 2026
The board plans to approve the monthly check register, which lists all district payments, as part of a bundled vote (Item X.A.) without discussion. This common practice can be used to obscure controversial spending, such as dues to taxpayer-funded lobby groups or payments to ideological consultants.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) and ask them to ‘Pull Consent Item X.A. for a separate discussion. Taxpayers deserve a brief public summary of significant or non-routine payments before the check register is approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Outsourcing Spending to Regional Cooperative
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is set to approve joining the Southeast Texas Purchasing Cooperative via Consent Item X.E. While this can be for efficiency, it outsources vendor selection to a regional entity, potentially bypassing local scrutiny and opening the door to contracts with ideological consultants.
Response

DEMAND DISCUSSION: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) and ask them to ‘Pull Consent Item X.E. for a separate discussion and vote. Before outsourcing purchasing, taxpayers need to know what vendors are on the cooperative’s list and what vetting process is used.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Local Oversight
