| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |

Budget Changes Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve ‘Budget Amendment #1’ as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote, preventing individual discussion. This common tactic can be used to pass significant spending changes or fund new programs without public scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Lake Dallas ISD Board. ‘I request that Consent Item 9.C, Budget Amendment #1, be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being reallocated.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shift

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |

Large Purchases Bundled on Consent Agenda
The district plans to approve unspecified purchases over $75,000 as part of the consent agenda, a single vote on multiple ‘routine’ items. This prevents public discussion on potentially large contracts or controversial vendors.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Lake Dallas ISD Board. ‘Regarding Consent Item 9.D, please provide a detailed list of the purchases over $75,000 and pull this item for a separate discussion and vote. Taxpayers deserve transparency on large expenditures.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
