Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MCCAMEY ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Secretive Changes to Board Operating Rules
The board is discussing changes to its own operating procedures without disclosing what those changes are. This is often how public comment rules get restricted or other transparency measures are weakened away from public view.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the McCamey ISD administration immediately: ‘Regarding Item 16, the public must see the proposed changes to Board Operation Procedures 6, 7, and 8 before any discussion or vote. Post the documents online now.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
|
| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Budget Amendments
The board is voting on undisclosed budget amendments. This practice can hide new spending from taxpayers until after the money is moved, bypassing public scrutiny on potentially controversial items.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the McCamey ISD administration before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 12, please post the details of the proposed budget amendments online. Taxpayers deserve to know what changes are being made to the budget before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Seeks Waiver from Federal Nutrition Program
The district is requesting a waiver to opt out of the Summer Nutrition Program, which is typically federally funded. This could be a move to reduce federal entanglement, but taxpayers should ask why the district is forgoing these funds and what the impact will be on local students.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the McCamey ISD administration: ‘Regarding Item 14, please explain the financial and community impact of waiving the Summer Nutrition Program. Is this decision saving local taxpayer money or reducing federal overreach?’
💰 Impact: Loss of Federal Funds
