Undisclosed Final Budget Amendment
The board will vote on a final amendment to the 2025-2026 budget without providing any details on the agenda. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for taxpayers to see what last-minute spending changes are being made with their money.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Final budget amendments can hide significant spending changes. Contact the Medina ISD board and demand that the details of the amendment for Item 4.E be published and explained before any vote is taken.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 4.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether the District Improvement Plan contains hidden ideological initiatives or wasteful spending before it is approved.
