Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming KERENS ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Library Book Purchases
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is voting to approve the purchase of new library books without providing a public list of the titles. This prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing materials for age-appropriateness or ideological content before they are purchased with public funds.
Response

REQUEST THE LIST: Contact the Kerens ISD board (see official agenda for contact info) and ask: ‘Please release the full list of library books and associated purchase orders being considered for approval on October 19th. Parents have a right to review materials purchased with taxpayer money.’

💰 Impact: Politicized School Libraries
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Vague Budget Amendments Require Scrutiny
📅 October 19, 2026
The board will vote on undisclosed budget amendments. This process can be used to shift taxpayer funds to new projects or priorities without the public scrutiny that the main budget receives, hiding the true nature of the spending.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Kerens ISD board (see official agenda for contact info) and ask: ‘Please publish the full details of the proposed budget amendments online before the vote on October 19th so taxpayers can see where our money is being moved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
