| 🚨 Alert (LEVEL 8) |

Secret Policy Change on the Agenda
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 21, 2026 |
The board is scheduled to vote on “Policy Update 127” with no description, summary, or attached document explaining what the policy does. This vague title makes it impossible for parents and taxpayers to know if the board is changing rules related to curriculum, student discipline, parental rights, or spending. Voting on policies the public hasn’t been allowed to see is a serious transparency violation.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the IRA ISD board. Ask them to table the vote on Item 6.E, ‘Policy Update 127,’ until the full text of the proposed policy is posted publicly for review. Texans should not have to guess what rules their elected officials are passing.
💰 Impact: Unknown. The cost of a hidden policy could be financial, or it could be the erosion of parental rights or government transparency.

Blank Check for Superintendent’s Credit Card
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 21, 2026 |
The board is voting to increase the spending limit on the superintendent’s taxpayer-funded credit card. The agenda fails to mention the current limit, the proposed new limit, or the reason for the increase. This is an open-ended request for more spending authority without basic financial disclosure to the public.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the IRA ISD board regarding Item 6.D. Ask for the current credit limit, the proposed new limit, and a public justification for the increase before any vote is taken. Taxpayers deserve to know the details before their money is spent.
💰 Impact: The unknown dollar amount of the credit limit increase.

New Taxpayer-Funded Credit Cards Lack Detail
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 21, 2026 |
The agenda includes a vote to approve new, district-funded credit cards. However, it provides no information on how many cards are being requested, who will receive them, what their spending limits will be, or what policies will govern their use. This lack of detail prevents public oversight of new spending channels.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the IRA ISD board about Item 6.C. Ask how many new credit cards are being requested, who they are for, and what the spending limits and oversight policies are. The board should provide these details before approving new lines of credit.
💰 Impact: The total potential liability from new, unmonitored credit card spending.
