📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CARRIZO SPRINGS CISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Retroactive Approval of 2-Year-Old Bond Contract
📅 November 17, 2026
The board is voting to ‘ratify’ a multi-million dollar bond construction contract that was supposedly approved over two years ago, in August 2024. This action seeks to retroactively approve ‘all actions taken’ since then, suggesting the district may have been spending bond money without proper, legally sound authorization.
Response

DEMAND AN EXPLANATION: Contact the Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding the action to ratify the Butler Cohen LLC contract: Why is the board being asked to retroactively approve a contract from 2024? Taxpayers deserve a full public explanation of what procedural errors occurred before this vote is taken.’

💰 Impact: Potential Unauthorized Spending
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Vague School ‘Improvement Plan’ Up for Vote
📅 November 17, 2026
The board is voting to approve a ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ (TIP) for Carrizo Springs Intermediate School. While framed as academic, these plans are often used by consultants and administrators to introduce Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or other ideological programs without direct parental oversight.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ document must be made public before the vote. Contact the District Office: ‘Please post the full Targeted Improvement Plan for Carrizo Springs Intermediate online so parents and taxpayers can review it before the board approves it.’

💰 Impact: Politicized Curriculum
