Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GREENWOOD ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board to Discuss Campus Book Fair Selections
The board will discuss and consider the books available to students at campus book fairs. This is a critical opportunity for parents to ensure that age-appropriate and academically sound materials are being offered to their children, free from political or sexual content.
Response
SHOW UP & SPEAK UP: Attend the meeting on October 7th to voice your opinion on book fair content during public comments. Contact the Greenwood ISD Board: ‘Regarding Item 8.C, I urge you to adopt clear policies ensuring all books at school fairs are age-appropriate and support the educational mission of the district.’
💰 Impact: Inappropriate Content for Students

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Potential Hidden Spending in Consent Agenda
The board may approve unspecified budget amendments as part of the consent agenda, a bundled vote designed for non-controversial items. This practice can hide new spending or fund transfers from public scrutiny without a separate discussion or recorded vote.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Greenwood ISD Board and ask that ‘Item 7.D, budget amendment(s),’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being moved.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |

Vague School Security Contracts with State Universities
The district is considering two contracts for ‘Regional Security Operations Center (RSOC) Services’ with state universities. Without the contract text, it is unclear what student data will be shared, what surveillance capabilities are included, and what the long-term costs or obligations are for the district.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The contracts for Items 8.A and 8.B are not included in the agenda packet. Contact the Greenwood ISD Board and ask: ‘Please publish the full contracts for the RSOC services before the vote. What student data will be shared with these university centers, and what are the privacy protections?’
💰 Impact: Student Data Sharing
