📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming KENEDY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
District to Fund County Sheriff’s Vehicle Purchase
📅 October 19, 2026
The district plans to spend $79,747.29 to cover 75% of the cost for a new School Resource Officer vehicle for the Karnes County Sheriff’s Office. While school safety is a priority, this uses Kenedy ISD taxpayer money to purchase a capital asset for a separate government entity.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Kenedy ISD board before the October 19 meeting. ‘Regarding Item 11, why is the school district purchasing a vehicle for the county? Please provide the MOU and explain why this is a more effective use of taxpayer funds than the county funding its own vehicle.’

💰 Impact: $79,747.29 for County Asset
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Vague ‘Improvement Plan’ on Agenda
📅 October 19, 2026
The board will vote on a ‘Local Improvement Plan’ for the middle school without providing the plan itself in the public agenda. These plans can contain significant changes to curriculum, spending, or school policy that deserve public review before a vote.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The ‘Local Improvement Plan’ for Item 12 was not included in the agenda packet. Contact the District Office: ‘Please publish the Kenedy Middle School Local Improvement Plan online so taxpayers can review it before the board votes on October 19.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
