Secret Changes to the District Budget
The board is scheduled to vote on a “Revision of 2026-2027 General Fund Budget.” The General Fund is the district’s main operating account, funded by local property taxes. The agenda provides no documents or explanation for what is being changed, how much money is involved, or how it will impact the tax rate taxpayers must pay.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: This is a vote to change the budget. Email the Lackland ISD Board and show up to the meeting. ‘Do not vote on a revision to the General Fund Budget until the public has seen a detailed breakdown of all proposed changes and the impact on the tax levy.’
💰 Impact: Potential for increased spending and a higher property tax bill.

Last-Minute Budget Changes Hidden in Single Vote
The board has placed the “Final Amended Budget for FY 2025-2026” on the Consent Agenda. This bundles it with routine items for a single vote with no discussion. This process can be used to approve last-minute spending increases or fund transfers from the previous year without public scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Lackland ISD Board. ‘I demand the Final Amended Budget for FY 2025-2026 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money was spent.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed spending from the previous fiscal year.

Secret Policy Changes on the Agenda
The board is voting to approve “Policy Update 127” with no description of what the update contains or what district rules it will change. This lack of transparency prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing policy changes—which could affect anything from curriculum to student discipline—before they are approved.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Email the Lackland ISD Board. ‘Regarding the vote on Policy Update 127, please publish the full text of the proposed changes online immediately so the public can review them before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Unknown policy changes passed without public review.

Vote on Undisclosed Employee Pay Plan
The board is voting to approve a “Revised 2026-2027 Compensation Plan.” The agenda provides no details on who is getting a raise or how much these changes will cost taxpayers. Any change to employee pay has a direct impact on the district budget and local property tax bills.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Email the Lackland ISD Board. ‘Before voting on the Revised 2026-2027 Compensation Plan, please publish the full details of the proposed changes and the total cost to the budget.’
💰 Impact: Unspecified salary increases impacting the budget.

Review of Student Counseling Program
The board is discussing a two-year evaluation of its student counseling program. This could involve the use of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) frameworks, mental health screenings, or the collection of sensitive student data. Parents should inquire about the specific models and metrics being used to evaluate the program.
Response
ASK THE QUESTIONS: Email the Lackland ISD Board. ‘Regarding the Counseling Program Evaluation, please clarify if the district uses SEL frameworks like CASEL or MTSS, and explain what student data is collected and how parents can opt their children out.’
💰 Impact: Student data collection and the introduction of ideological frameworks into counseling.
