Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming IRION COUNTY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Undefined ‘CIP’ Plan Approval
📅 September 29, 2026
The board will vote on a ‘CIP,’ an acronym that could mean Capital Improvement Plan (involving major spending and potential debt) or Campus Improvement Plan (involving campus-level policies). By using an undefined acronym without providing the document, the board is obscuring what is actually being approved.
Response

DEMAND CLARITY: Contact the Irion County ISD administration to ask what ‘CIP’ stands for and demand the full plan be published online before the vote on Item 3.C. Taxpayers deserve to see spending or policy plans before they are approved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending or Policy

Vague ‘District Improvement Plan’ Vote
📅 September 29, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve the ‘DIP’ or District Improvement Plan for the upcoming school year. These plans can be used to introduce controversial curricula or policies like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) without adequate public review, but the district has not published the plan for review.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Irion County ISD administration and ask for the full text of the 2026-2027 District Improvement Plan to be posted online for public review before the vote on Item 3.B.
