Undisclosed ‘Retention Supplement’ Spending
📅 November 17, 2026
The board plans to approve a ‘One-Time Retention Supplement’ for staff without disclosing the total cost or the source of the funds. This could be a responsible use of funds or a last-minute spend of expiring federal dollars that creates future budget holes.
Response

Email the Lackland ISD Board before Tuesday’s meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding the ‘One-Time Retention Supplement,’ what is the total cost to the taxpayer, and what is the funding source? Please provide these details publicly before any vote is taken.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
WATCH (LEVEL 3)
Strict Sign-Up Rule Limits Public Comment
📅 November 17, 2026
The board’s policy requires residents to sign up to speak at least five minutes before the meeting starts. This rule can prevent busy parents or taxpayers who are running late from holding the board accountable on important issues.
Response

This is a standing policy, not a new vote. Contact the Board to ask for a more flexible sign-up policy that respects the time of working parents and taxpayers. Suggest allowing sign-ups until the public comment period officially begins.

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
