Blank Check for New Transit Van
📅 October 29, 2026
The board plans to vote on purchasing a new transit van without disclosing the cost or funding source in the public agenda. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from knowing if this is a cash purchase or a new debt obligation, like a lease-purchase agreement, that bypasses voters.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Follett ISD board before the meeting (see the district website for contact information). Ask: ‘Regarding Item 5, what is the total cost for the transit van, and will it be paid for with cash or through a lease-purchase agreement? Taxpayers deserve to see the price tag before you vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Purchase Price

Undisclosed Cost for New Minivan
📅 October 29, 2026
The board is set to approve the purchase of a new minivan, but the agenda provides no information on the price or how it will be funded. This prevents public scrutiny over whether the district is using cash on hand or taking on new debt without voter approval.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Follett ISD board before the meeting (see the district website for contact information). Ask: ‘Regarding Item 6, what is the total cost for the minivan, and how will it be funded? Please disclose the financial details to the public before taking action.’
