Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LUBBOCK-COOPER ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secret Land Deal Using Taxpayer Funds
The board plans to vote on acquiring real estate under Item 7.d, but has not disclosed the location, price, or purpose of the property. Major land purchases should be transparent, not decided behind closed doors with a blank check from taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7.d, taxpayers deserve to know the cost and purpose of this land deal before you vote. I demand this item be discussed in open session with a roll-call vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Land Purchase Cost

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Potential Conflict of Interest for District Employees
Item 7.a asks the board to approve a resolution allowing certain employees to take on ‘outside contract work.’ The agenda provides no details on which employees, what kind of work, or who would be paying them, creating a risk for potential conflicts of interest.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before the vote on Item 7.a, please publish the full resolution and disclose which employees and what type of outside work this authorizes.’
💰 Impact: Potential Conflicts of Interest

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists financial reports under item 5.c.1, but the attachments containing the ‘CASH AND INVESTMENT REPORT’ and ‘September Bond Report’ were not provided in the accessible documents. Taxpayers cannot see the district’s current financial health or how bond money is being spent before the board meeting.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 5.c.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to review the district’s financial and bond reports for any red flags.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Financial Details
