📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming FLATONIA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Major Construction Project Initiated Without Funding Details
📅 November 12, 2026
The board is taking four key initial votes (Items 5.e, 5.f, 5.g, 5.h) to launch ‘2027 Facility Improvement Projects’ and delegate significant authority to the superintendent. The agenda provides no information on the total estimated cost or how these projects will be funded, opening the door to future debt issued without voter approval.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Flatonia ISD board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Items 5.e through 5.h for the 2027 Facility Improvement Projects, what is the estimated total cost and how will it be funded? Taxpayers deserve to know if you plan to use Certificates of Obligation to bypass voters before you delegate authority to the Superintendent.’

💰 Impact: Potential Future Debt

Vague Library Book Order Requires Review
📅 November 12, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve a ‘Secondary Library Book Order’ under Item 5.b, but the list of books being purchased is not included in the public agenda. This prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing the materials their children will have access to before the purchase is approved with their money.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 5.b in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the book list. If it’s not there, contact the district and demand the full book list be published online for public review before the vote.
