Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming EVADALE ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Secret Session to Discuss ‘Door Audit’ Results
📅 November 16, 2026
The board plans to discuss the ‘Results of Door Audit’ in a closed executive session, citing a law meant for personnel matters (551.074), not facility audits. This move shields a potentially important public safety and spending discussion from public view without proper legal justification.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Evadale ISD board and ask: ‘Why is Item 4.b, the ‘Results of Door Audit,’ being discussed in a closed session under a personnel code instead of in an open meeting? The public has a right to know the results of this audit.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Funding for ‘Additional Doors’ Not Covered by Bond
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is considering action on ‘additional doors not covered by Bond money.’ This suggests a potential cost overrun or scope change on a voter-approved project, with taxpayers now possibly on the hook for extra costs from the general fund.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Evadale ISD board and ask: ‘Regarding Item 2.h, why were these ‘additional doors’ not included in the original bond, and what is the total cost to taxpayers from the general fund to cover this expense?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost Overrun
