District Seeks Waiver from Summer Food Program
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote on requesting a waiver to opt out of the 2027 summer feeding program, which provides federally-funded meals to children when school is out. Taxpayers should ask if this is a fiscally responsible move to avoid federal strings and administrative costs, or if it cuts off a needed service for local families.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Mildred ISD board before the meeting. Ask ‘Regarding Item 8.d, what is the fiscal and community impact of waiving participation in the summer feeding program? Is the district avoiding federal mandates or are there other reasons for this request?’

💰 Impact: Reduced Services for Children?

Board to Discuss Its Own Operating Procedures
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is holding a ‘Discussion Only’ item on its own operating procedures. This is often where rules for public comment, agenda setting, and board transparency are decided, and future changes could reduce public access and accountability.
Response

MONITOR AND ASK: Pay attention to the discussion on Item 8.e. Contact the Mildred ISD board and ask that any proposed changes to operating procedures be clearly published with ample time for public input before any future vote.

💰 Impact: Potential for Reduced Public Access
