Local Alert

📅 Wednesday, October 14, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming HARDIN ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

ALERT (LEVEL 8)

Board Plans Vote on Secret Topics from Closed Session

📅 October 14, 2026

The agenda allows the board to discuss unknown topics in a private ‘Executive Session’ and then immediately vote on them in public under Item 4. This process denies taxpayers any opportunity to see the proposals or provide input before a decision is made, violating the spirit of open government.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Hardin ISD board and superintendent. ‘I object to Item 4 on the October 14th agenda, which allows votes on topics discussed in secret. All items for a vote must be listed specifically on the public agenda in advance to allow for public review and comment.’

💰 Impact: Secret Votes

WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

Vague ‘Board Goals’ Discussion Lacks Specifics

📅 October 14, 2026

The board is holding a ‘working meeting’ to discuss unspecified ‘Board Goals.’ This vague agenda item prevents the public from knowing what policy, spending, or curriculum changes are being considered, limiting their ability to prepare and provide comment.

Response

REQUEST CLARITY: Contact the Hardin ISD administration before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 2 on the October 14th agenda, what specific goals will be discussed? The public deserves a detailed agenda to understand what is being considered.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
