Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LIBERTY HILL ISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Major Curriculum Purchase on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a purchase of over $100,000 for new K-5 reading and language arts materials without a separate discussion or vote. Hiding this major curriculum decision on the consent agenda prevents public scrutiny of the vendor and content being chosen for young students.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Liberty Hill ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Pull Item 6.b.e.a from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents and taxpayers deserve to know exactly what K-5 reading curriculum is being purchased before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: $100,000+ (Curriculum Scrutiny Bypassed)

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Staff Positions Created After Closed Session
The board may vote to create and fund new, unspecified ‘Growth Positions’ immediately after discussing them in a closed session. This limits public input on the necessity and long-term cost of new staff, which will be paid for by taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Liberty Hill ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Regarding Item 9.a.a, what specific positions are being considered, what is their total annual cost in salary and benefits, and why can’t this be discussed in open session before the vote?’
💰 Impact: New, Unfunded Staff Salaries

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving the ‘District and Campus Improvement Plans’ on the consent agenda. These documents often contain new initiatives related to curriculum, student discipline, or data collection that merit public review, but the plans themselves are not included in the agenda packet.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for ‘District and Campus Improvement Plans’ (Item 6.d) attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains hidden ideological initiatives like DEI or SEL.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
|
| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting on a ‘CFB (LOCAL) Policy Update’ as part of the bundled consent agenda. Without the text of the policy update, it’s impossible for the public to know what changes are being made to district accounting or financial rules.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for ‘CFB (LOCAL) Policy Update’ (Item 6.f) attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains hidden financial or policy changes.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
