Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CROSS ROADS ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Sale of Public Asset Without Disclosed Terms
The district plans to sell its Educational Broadband Service License to a private company, Clearwire Spectrum Holdings III, LLC. The terms of the sale, including the price, are not disclosed in the agenda, preventing public scrutiny of whether taxpayers are getting a fair deal for this public asset.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: The Asset Purchase Agreement for Item 11 is not public. Contact the Board of Trustees and demand the full agreement be posted online immediately. Taxpayers have a right to know the sale price and terms before a public asset is sold.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Sale Price

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
School Improvement Plans May Contain Hidden Ideology
The board will vote on the District and Campus Improvement Plans. These documents often contain mandates for controversial programs like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which can shift focus away from core academics.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The full text for the Improvement Plans in Items 12 and 13 is not attached. Contact the district office to get copies of these plans and search them for terms like ‘SEL’, ‘equity’, ‘DEI’, and names of consultants like ‘Panorama Education’ before the board votes.
💰 Impact: Mission Creep on Taxpayer Dime

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Potential for Politicized Investment Policy
The board is reviewing its investment policy without providing the document for public review. This is an opportunity for politically motivated criteria like ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) to be introduced, which can prioritize social agendas over the best financial returns for the district.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: The district’s investment policy for Item 10 is not attached. Contact the district office and demand a copy of the current policy and any proposed changes. Ask the board to affirm their fiduciary duty is to maximize returns for taxpayers, not to advance a political agenda.
💰 Impact: Politicized Investments
