Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LITTLE ELM ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Large Expenditures Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a ‘Summary Report’ of expenditures over $100,000 as part of a bundled consent agenda vote. This prevents public discussion and scrutiny of individual large-dollar contracts, hiding how significant amounts of taxpayer money are being spent.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Little Elm ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Item 10.F be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see where every dollar over $100,000 is going.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Inter-Governmental Pacts on Consent Agenda
The board is approving a list of ‘Interlocal’ agreements with other government entities without disclosing the partners, purpose, or cost of these agreements. This bundled vote could commit taxpayer funds to outside entities, potentially including those that lobby against taxpayer interests, without public review.
Response
INVESTIGATE AND DEMAND A VOTE: Contact the Little Elm ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Consent Item 10.G for a separate vote. The public deserves to know which government entities we are partnering with and at what cost before you approve these agreements.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Pacts/Fees

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Virtual Courses on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve new virtual courses without providing any public details on the subjects, content, or third-party providers. This process allows controversial or politically-charged curriculum to be added with minimal public scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Little Elm ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask: ‘Regarding Consent Item 10.C, please publish the list of proposed virtual courses and their providers for public review before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Politicized Curriculum
