| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8) |
|
Blank Check for ‘Supplies and Equipment’
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is voting on ‘Purchase of Supplies and Equipment’ with no supporting documents. The agenda does not list what is being bought, which vendors are being paid, or the total cost to taxpayers. This is a vote to spend an unknown amount of money with zero public oversight.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the district office and demand a detailed list of all proposed purchases under Item XI, including vendors and costs, be published online immediately. Ask the board to table this vote until taxpayers can review the spending.
💰 Impact: Unknown spending amount.

Secret Student Code of Conduct Vote
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is set to approve the 2026-2027 Student Code of Conduct, a critical document that governs discipline, without making the proposed text public. This prevents parents from reviewing potential changes related to ‘restorative justice,’ student gender identity policies, or other controversial items before they are approved.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the district office and insist that the proposed Student Code of Conduct (Item VII) be posted on the district website for public review before any vote is taken. Parents have a right to see the rules before they are enacted.
💰 Impact: Hidden policy changes affecting parental rights and student discipline.

Secret Budget Changes
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The agenda includes a vote on a ‘Budget Amendment’ with no explanation or documentation. Taxpayers have no way of knowing what money is being moved, what programs are being cut, or what new spending is being authorized. This is a non-transparent way to alter the district’s financial priorities mid-year.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the district office and ask for the full details of the proposed Budget Amendment (Item IV) to be published. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being reallocated before the board votes.
💰 Impact: Unknown. Could be a minor adjustment or a major shift in spending.

Barring Homeschool Students from UIL
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is considering a policy to ‘Opt Out’ of a state law that allows homeschool students to participate in UIL activities. This vote would actively block local homeschool families, who pay property taxes that fund the district, from accessing these extracurricular opportunities for their children.
Response
SPEAK UP FOR PARENTAL CHOICE: Contact the board and urge them to vote NO on Item VI. Ask them to support, not block, opportunities for all students in the community, including those educated at home.
💰 Impact: Loss of opportunity for taxpaying homeschool families.

|
Undisclosed Salary Stipends
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is voting to approve a new salary stipend schedule, but the proposed schedule has not been made public. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from seeing if new stipends are being created for non-academic or ideological roles, or how much these extra payments will cost.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the district office and ask that the proposed Salary Stipend Schedule (Item VIII) be published online for public review before the vote. Taxpayers should see all compensation plans.
💰 Impact: Potential for new, taxpayer-funded administrative or ideological positions.
