Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming ANAHUAC ISD agenda. There are 6 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
| 🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9) |
|
Superintendent Spending Authority May Double
Item X.B proposes doubling the Superintendent’s spending authority from $25,000 to $50,000 per transaction without prior board approval. This significantly reduces public oversight and makes it easier to approve controversial contracts with less scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND BOARD OVERSIGHT: Contact the Anahuac ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Vote NO on Item X.B. The board’s job is to approve spending, not to delegate away its oversight of taxpayer money.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Oversight

| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8) |

District Briefed by Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
The board is receiving “TASB Update 127,” indicating an ongoing relationship with the Texas Association of School Boards. Taxpayer dollars are used to fund TASB, which then lobbies the state legislature for policies that often lead to higher taxes and less local control.
Response
DEMAND AN END TO LOBBYING: Contact the Anahuac ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Item X.A shows our district is still tied to TASB. Please end our membership and stop using our tax dollars to lobby against taxpayer interests.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7) |
|
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in Primary School
The Anahuac Primary School Principal’s report confirms the use of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) to manage student behavior. This shifts focus from core academics to subjective psychological programming, often without full parental transparency.
Response
ASK THE BOARD: During public comment for Item VIII.D, ask: ‘What specific SEL curriculum is being used at the Primary School? Is it available for parental review, and is there a clear opt-out process for parents who want their children focused on academics?’
💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms

| 🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6) |

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item IX.A authorizes a final bond payment of $960,134.78 to contractor Durotech for the Primary School Project. The final invoice was attached to the agenda but its text was not provided, preventing public verification of this major expenditure.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Final Primary Payment Invoice_001’ attached to Item IX.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the details of this nearly $1 million payment.
💰 Impact: $960,134.78

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board plans to approve a new school bus purchase for up to $200,000 under Action Item VI.A. The vendor quote was attached to the agenda but its text was not provided, preventing public review of the final cost and terms.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Thomas Bus Quote_001’ attached to Item VI.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the final price and ensure there are no long-term lease-purchase schemes.
💰 Impact: $200,000
