Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LA FERIA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Undisclosed Cost for Construction Change Order
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve Change Order #004 for the district’s walkway canopy projects, but the public agenda packet deliberately leaves the dollar amount blank. This asks the board to approve an unknown cost increase using voter-approved bond funds without public disclosure.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and the board. ‘Regarding Item VII.B, why is the cost of Change Order #004 not disclosed to the public? The board must not approve a blank check with bond money. State the full cost and justify it before any vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Bond Spending
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Second Undisclosed Construction Change Order
📅 October 19, 2026
Item VII.C presents a second construction change order, this time for the C.E. Vail facility renovations, with the cost increase also left blank in the public documents. This pattern of hiding costs from taxpayers for projects funded by bonds is a serious transparency failure.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and the board. ‘Regarding Item VII.C, the cost for Change Order #002 is also missing. The board must postpone votes on both VII.B and VII.C until the full costs are disclosed and justified to the public.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Bond Spending
