Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CLEAR CREEK ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |

District to Spend $3.3M in Bond ‘Savings’ on New Project
The district plans to spend $3.3 million on a new ‘District Administration Facility Consolidation Plan.’ This project will be funded not with new revenue, but with ‘Savings and Interest’ from the 2023 Bond, diverting money from voter-approved projects to a new administrative initiative without direct voter consent.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details). Ask them: ‘Was the $3.3M Administration Facility Consolidation Plan explicitly listed in the 2023 Bond proposition voters approved? Using bond savings for new projects circumvents the voters. Vote NO on Items 8.B and 8.C.’
💰 Impact: $3.3M (No Voter Approval)

$400,000 Contract Increase Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a $400,000 increase to a plumbing contract, bringing the total to $1 million. This 67% hike is attributed to vague ‘large unanticipated repairs’ and is bundled in the consent agenda to avoid discussion.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees and demand Item 8.A.11 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Ask: ‘What specific unanticipated repairs justify a 67% cost overrun on this contract? Taxpayers deserve a full accounting.’
💰 Impact: $400,000 Increase

Vague Math Curriculum Adoption After Public Concern
The board is voting to adopt the ‘2026-2027 Math OER Instructional Material Transition Plan’ from ‘Bluebonnet Learning.’ Meeting minutes show this vote was previously postponed after public comment, suggesting potential concerns with the curriculum content, which has not been made public in the agenda.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board of Trustees. Ask them to pull Item 8.A.6 from the consent agenda and postpone the vote until the ‘Bluebonnet Learning’ curriculum materials are posted publicly for parental review. ‘Parents have a right to see what their children will be taught.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum Content
