📍 Drive to DEWEYVILLE ISD Office   📅 Monday, October 12, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming DEWEYVILLE ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
District to Adopt Official Lobbying Platform
📅 October 12, 2026
The school board will vote to adopt its official ‘Legislative Priorities’ under Item 3.I. This means the district will use taxpayer resources and its official position to lobby the Texas Legislature, potentially for policies that increase taxes or reduce parental rights.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Deweyville ISD board before the meeting. Ask for a public copy of the proposed ‘Legislative Priorities’ under Item 3.I before the vote and demand to know if they align with protecting taxpayers.

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Blank Check Approval for Major Spending
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is set to approve unspecified purchases exceeding $10,000 under agenda item 3.K. This practice of approving significant expenditures without public detail prevents taxpayers from seeing how their money is being spent until after the fact.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Deweyville ISD board and ask for a detailed list of all expenditures being approved under Item 3.K. Taxpayers deserve to know what is being purchased before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Secretive Mid-Year Budget Changes
📅 October 12, 2026
The board plans to approve ‘Budget Amendment #2’ with no supporting documents or explanation provided in the public agenda. Mid-year budget changes can be used to fund new programs or cover overspending, all without public scrutiny on where the money is coming from or going.
Response

SHOW US THE NUMBERS: Contact the Deweyville ISD board and demand that ‘Budget Amendment #2’ under Item 3.L be published for public review before any vote is taken. Taxpayers have a right to see changes to the budget they fund.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Budget Changes
