📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming FRIONA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Undisclosed Budget Amendment
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote on a ‘Budget Amendment’ with no supporting documentation or dollar amounts provided in the public agenda. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from seeing how their money is being reallocated mid-year, bypassing the scrutiny of the regular budget process.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Friona ISD board (see district website for contact info) and demand they postpone the vote on Item 11. ‘The public must be provided with the full details of the proposed Budget Amendment and given time to review it before any vote is taken.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shift
WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Blank Check? Bill Payments Hidden on Consent Agenda
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is set to approve an unknown number of payments from two major funds under a single ‘consent agenda’ vote, without publishing the check registers for public review. This bundles potentially controversial spending with routine items, shielding it from discussion and a separate vote.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Friona ISD board (see district website for contact info). ‘Pull Item 10.d, the Payment of Monthly Bills, from the consent agenda for separate discussion. The public deserves to see the check registers before our money is spent.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
