Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming BENAVIDES ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Secret ‘Local Improvement Plan’ Up for Vote
The board will vote on a ‘Local Improvement Plan’ without providing the plan itself for public review. This opaque item could commit taxpayers to major new spending, curriculum changes, or consultant contracts without any opportunity for input or scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Benavides ISD administration (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The public has a right to review the ‘Local Improvement Plan’ under Item 6.D before the board takes a vote. Please post the full document online immediately.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy & Spending

Undisclosed Budget Amendments on Agenda
The board is scheduled to vote on unspecified amendments to the district budget under Item 6.A. Without the proposed changes being published in advance, taxpayers are left in the dark about what money is being moved and for what purpose, preventing any meaningful public oversight.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Benavides ISD administration (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 6.A, the proposed budget amendments must be published online for public review before the board votes.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Blank Check for Project Change Orders
The board is set to approve unspecified ‘Change Orders’ for district projects. This action could authorize significant cost overruns without public disclosure of the new total cost or the reason for the changes, bypassing taxpayer accountability.
Response
ASK FOR THE NUMBERS: Contact the Benavides ISD administration (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Before the vote on Item 6.B, please provide the dollar amount and justification for each change order being considered.’
💰 Impact: Potential Cost Overruns
