Undisclosed ‘District Improvement Plan’ Up for Vote

Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Dilley ISD board before the meeting. Ask them: ‘Postpone the vote on Item IX.1.B, the District Improvement Plan, until the full text has been posted online for at least 72 hours for public review.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Ideological Agendas

Blank Check for 2025 Bond Construction Costs
The board is set to approve a ‘Guaranteed Maximum Price’ for construction projects funded by the 2025 bond. The agenda provides no details on the price, the contractor, or the specific projects, preventing taxpayers from seeing if their bond money is being spent responsibly.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Dilley ISD board. Ask: ‘Before voting on Item IX.1.C, please state the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the name of the contractor, and which specific projects this covers. Taxpayers deserve to see the details of how their bond money is being spent.’

Vague Budget Amendment for High School Litigation
The board plans to amend the budget to cover costs for litigation involving Dilley High School. The agenda gives no information on the nature of the lawsuit, the expected cost to taxpayers, or whether the district is suing or being sued.
Response
ASK FOR THE COST: Contact the Dilley ISD board regarding Item IX.1.A.3. Ask: ‘What is the estimated cost of this litigation and what is the source of the funds for this budget amendment? Taxpayers need to know the financial impact.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Legal Fees

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Board to Discuss Member Resignation in Secret
The board is meeting in a closed executive session to discuss a board member’s ‘resignation, and rescission of same.’ This suggests significant internal conflict and instability, which can distract from the board’s duty to oversee the district and protect taxpayers.
Response
WATCH THE VOTE: Pay attention to Item IX.1.E, where the board may take action after the closed session. Board stability is crucial for good governance and fiscal responsibility.
💰 Impact: Board Dysfunction
