Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for SLATON ISD. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
“Unlimited Tax” Bonds for New Construction
📅 2026-08-27
The board is planning to issue “Unlimited Tax” bonds, a long-term debt that will be paid for by property taxes. This major financial decision will fund new school construction and lock in taxpayer obligations for decades.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the full bond proposal and financial impact study for Item III.E. Ask the board during public comment: ‘What is the total expected cost to the average taxpayer over the life of these ‘unlimited tax’ bonds?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Long-Term Taxpayer Debt
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Awarding Major Construction Contract Without Details
📅 2026-08-27
The board is selecting a “Construction Manager at Risk” to oversee the building of a new elementary school, a project likely funded by the new bonds. The agenda doesn’t name the candidates or the selection criteria, raising questions about the transparency of this multi-million dollar decision.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the list of firms considered for the CMAR contract (Item III.F) and the scoring rubric used to select the winner. The public deserves to know how this massive contract is being awarded.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Contract Value
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Vague Juvenile Justice Agreement
📅 2026-08-27
The board is voting on an agreement with the Lubbock County Juvenile Justice system for “Alternative Education Placement.” Without seeing the document, parents don’t know what rights they have or what data will be shared if their child is sent to this program.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ for Item III.A was not included in the public agenda. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand this document be posted publicly before the vote. Parents have a right to know the terms under which their children can be sent to a program run by the juvenile justice system.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight of Discipline
