Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming ANTHONY ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed Mid-Year Pay Increase Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a ‘Mid-Year Pay Increase’ by bundling it with routine items on the consent agenda. This prevents public discussion on the cost, who benefits, and the justification for a pay raise outside the normal budget cycle.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Anthony ISD board and demand Item 8.F, ‘Approval of Mid-Year Pay Increase,’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know who is getting a raise and how much it will cost.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Secret Budget Changes on the Agenda
The board is scheduled to vote on undisclosed ‘Budget Amendments.’ This allows for money to be moved and spent on new items without the public scrutiny that the original budget received.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Anthony ISD board and ask that the proposed budget amendments for Item 9.B be posted online for public review before the vote. Taxpayers have a right to see how their money is being reallocated.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
District of Innovation Plan Changes Kept from Public
The district will hold a hearing and vote on amendments to its ‘District of Innovation’ plan, which allows it to bypass certain state laws. The proposed changes have not been made public, preventing taxpayers from reviewing them before the vote.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the district and demand the proposed amendments for Item 9.A, the District of Innovation Plan, be published online immediately. Taxpayers cannot provide input at the 6.A hearing on a plan they haven’t been allowed to read.
💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability
