Vague “Technology Purchase” on Agenda with No Details
The board plans to vote on an unspecified ‘Technology Purchase’ without providing any public information on the vendor, the product, or the cost. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from knowing if this is a routine equipment upgrade or a costly student data-tracking system.
Response
Contact the Liberty-Eylau ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Before voting on Item 10.E, please publicly disclose the vendor, total cost, and contract details for the proposed Technology Purchase. Taxpayers deserve transparency.’

Response
Contact the Liberty-Eylau ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 10.C, please make the full text of the proposed Turnaround Plan available to the public before the hearing so parents can review it for new costs or curriculum changes.’
