Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CROSS ROADS ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
โš ๏ธ Warning (LEVEL 7)
Undisclosed Mid-Year Budget Change
๐Ÿ“… September 24, 2026
The board plans to vote on an amendment to the 2026-2027 budget without providing any public details. Taxpayers have no way of knowing what is being changed, how much money is involved, or why the change is necessary after the budget was already set.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Cross Roads ISD board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 10, the public deserves to see the proposed budget amendment and a justification for the changes before you vote. Post the details online immediately.’

๐Ÿ’ฐ Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Who Will Oversee Your Property Appraisal?
๐Ÿ“… September 24, 2026
The school board is nominating two people to the Henderson County Appraisal District board. This board oversees the appraisal process that determines the value of your home and, ultimately, your property tax bill.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Cross Roads ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 9, who are the nominees for the Henderson County Appraisal District board, and what is their stance on protecting homeowners from runaway appraisals? This decision must be made in the open.’

๐Ÿ’ฐ Impact: Higher Property Appraisals
๐ŸšฉWatchlist (LEVEL 5)
Secret Meeting on Vague “DVA Report”
๐Ÿ“… September 24, 2026
The board is holding a closed-door “Executive Session” to discuss a “DVA preliminary report.” Using an unexplained acronym prevents the public from knowing what topic is being discussed in secret, undermining government transparency.
Response

QUESTION THE SECRECY: Contact the Cross Roads ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 11, what does “DVA” stand for, and why must this report be discussed in a secret executive session? The public deserves to know what topics are being moved behind closed doors.’

๐Ÿ’ฐ Impact: Reduced Transparency
