Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LOS FRESNOS CISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
Mental Health Services Contract on Consent Agenda
The district is approving a contract with an outside mental health provider, ‘Behavioral Health Solutions of South Texas,’ for a ‘Community Counseling and Wellness Program.’ Placing this on the consent agenda bypasses public discussion on what services will be offered, what student data will be shared, and what parental consent rights will be respected.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Pull Item XI.5 from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a recorded vote. Parents deserve to know the details of the MOU with Behavioral Health Solutions before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent
|
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed ‘Professional Learning’ Contracts
The board is set to approve multiple contracts with ‘Independent Contractors for Professional Learning Services’ without public discussion. The agenda provides no names, costs, or subjects, preventing taxpayers from knowing if they are funding legitimate academic training or ideological consultants.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Item XI.11 for ‘Professional Learning Services’ is too vague. Please publish the names of the contractors, the cost of each contract, and the topics of the training before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees
|
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Library Book Purchases
The district plans to approve a new list of library books without disclosing the titles to the public ahead of the vote. This item is on the consent agenda, meaning it will pass without discussion unless a trustee pulls it for individual consideration.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Regarding Item XI.10, please publish the full list of proposed library books for public review before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
|
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board will vote on ‘Budget Amendment #1’ without providing any details in the agenda about what funds are being moved, from where, or for what purpose. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for taxpayers to provide oversight on how their money is being spent.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item XIV.1 to confirm whether it contains hidden spending or policy changes. Demand the board explain the amendment in plain English during the meeting.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
