📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GLASSCOCK COUNTY ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Board May Cede Final Say on Major Electricity Contract
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is considering delegating authority to the Superintendent to negotiate and sign a major electricity contract without a final public vote. This removes public oversight and accountability for a significant, long-term district expense.
Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the board: ‘Regarding Item 9.D, the board must retain final approval authority over the electricity contract. Do not delegate this responsibility away from a public vote.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Oversight
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Vote Planned on Undisclosed Budget Changes
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is scheduled to vote on ‘Budget Amendments’ without providing any public documents detailing the changes. Taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being reallocated before a vote is taken.
Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the details of Item 9.E: ‘Please publish the proposed budget amendments online before the board votes on them. Taxpayers deserve to see the details.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
WATCH (LEVEL 3)
Requires Verification

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 October 12, 2026
The board will vote on joining the ‘791 Purchasing Cooperative’ by approving a ‘Master Interlocal Agreement.’ The agreement itself is not attached in the provided text, preventing public review of potential long-term commitments or fees.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item 9.C to confirm whether the ‘Master Interlocal Agreement’ contains hidden fees or unfavorable terms for the district.

💰 Impact: Potential Hidden Fees
