Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LONGVIEW ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Secret Land and Building Deals Discussed in Closed Session
📅 November 18, 2026
The board will meet in private under Section 551.072 to discuss buying and leasing unspecified real estate. This process shields the details of potentially costly taxpayer-funded deals from public scrutiny until the moment of a final vote.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board to disclose the location and potential cost of the properties under consideration before any vote is taken on items from the Closed Session.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Real Estate Costs
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Secret ‘Charter Partner’ Deals Discussed with Lawyers
📅 November 18, 2026
The board is meeting in a closed session with its attorney to discuss ‘Charter Partner Agreements.’ These agreements can fundamentally change how schools are run and how taxpayer money is spent, but the public is being shut out of the initial discussion.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: During public comment, ask what ‘Charter Partner Agreements’ are being considered and what the financial and academic impact will be on the district. Urge the board to hold a public workshop on these agreements before any final action is taken.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
