📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CHILTON ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
Undisclosed Superintendent Contract Extension
📅 Scheduled Action
The board plans to vote on extending the Superintendent’s contract and a new “Contract Proposal” without publishing the terms of the deal. Taxpayers have a right to see the proposed salary, benefits, and buyout clauses before the board locks them into a multi-year, high-dollar commitment.
Response

DEMAND A PUBLIC REVIEW: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Regarding Item 18, the proposed Superintendent contract must be published for public review with adequate time before any vote. Taxpayers will not accept a blank check.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed long-term liability
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) Appointments
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is appointing members to the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). This committee often influences health curriculum, including controversial topics, so it’s critical for parents to know who is being appointed and what their positions are.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Regarding Item 12, please publish the names and affiliations of the proposed SHAC committee members before the vote. Parents have a right to know who is advising the district on student health.’

💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents on Health Curriculum
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Vague ‘Long-Term Financial Goals’ Discussion
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is meeting with a financial advisor to discuss “long-term financial goals and opportunities.” This kind of vague discussion is often the first step toward proposing new debt or a tax increase without specific details being made public.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Regarding Item 6, what specific ‘opportunities’ will be discussed with the financial advisor? Taxpayers expect any discussion about long-term finances to be transparent and focused on paying down debt, not issuing new bonds without voter approval.’

💰 Impact: Future Debt / Tax Increase
