Legal Retainer with Politically-Connected Firm
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is set to approve a legal services retainer with Walsh Gallegos on the consent agenda. This firm is a major player in the Texas education establishment, often advising districts on policies that are not aligned with taxpayer interests in fiscal conservatism and transparency.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Bloomington ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask them to pull Item 8.C from the consent agenda for a separate vote. Ask: ‘What is the total cost of the Walsh Gallegos retainer, and will any of these taxpayer funds be used for services that constitute lobbying?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Legal Fees
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 7)
District to Authorize Armed Security Officers
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is taking a crucial step to improve campus safety by approving a resolution for armed security officers. This measure hardens schools and protects students and staff.
How to Lock It In

SECURE THE WIN: Contact the Bloomington ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) to thank them for prioritizing student safety with Item 8.D. Publicly supporting common-sense security measures encourages other districts to follow suit.

✅ Why It Matters: Enhanced Student Safety
Win (LEVEL 6)
District Saves Money by Cancelling Uncontested Election
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is cancelling the November 3rd election because all candidates are running unopposed. This is a fiscally responsible decision that saves taxpayers the significant cost of administering an unnecessary election.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THE WIN: Contact the Bloomington ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) to thank them for their fiscally responsible decision on Item 8.E. This common-sense move saves taxpayer money and should be the standard for all uncontested local elections in Texas.

✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
