📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming DENTON ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
$300,000 ‘Behavioral Services’ Contract on Consent Agenda
📅 October 13, 2026
The board is set to approve a $300,000 federally-funded contract for ‘Behavioral Services’ with a consultant, Behavior Network. This large, vaguely defined contract is bundled on the consent agenda, preventing public discussion about the specific services provided and their alignment with community values.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Denton ISD Board and demand Item 9.E be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Ask: ‘What specific ‘behavioral services’ are being purchased for $300,000, and how will the district ensure they are free of political ideology?’

💰 Impact: $300,000 (Federal Funds)
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 8)
Denton ISD Earns Top State Rating for Financial Management
📅 October 13, 2026
For the 24th consecutive year, Denton ISD has received an ‘A, Superior Achievement’ rating from the Texas Education Agency’s financial accountability system. This top rating, with a score of 98 out of 100, confirms the district’s disciplined and transparent stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THE WIN: Contact the Denton ISD Board to thank them for their consistent fiscal stewardship. Ask them to make adopting the no-new-revenue tax rate their next goal to continue protecting taxpayers.

✅ Why It Matters: Fiscal Responsibility
