School Board to Approve Nearly $1 Million for Bond Consultants
The board will vote on a $945,000 payment to the firm WRA for ‘design development’ related to the district’s bond projects. This is a massive expenditure for consulting services that deserves full public transparency on deliverables before approval.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Mildred ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 9.c, what specific work product is the district receiving for this $945,000 payment to WRA? Taxpayers deserve to see the contract and deliverables before this is approved.’
💰 Impact: $945,000 in Consultant Fees

Second Large Consultant Payment on Agenda for Approval
In addition to another large payment, the board will also vote to pay Cumming Gallagher Group $231,320 for ‘pre-construction’ services. Taxpayers should question the total cost of consultants and managers layered on top of the actual construction costs for the bond.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Mildred ISD board. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 9.e, what is the total projected cost for all consultants and project managers on this bond? Please provide a full accounting of these soft costs before approving another $231,320.’
💰 Impact: $231,320 in Consultant Fees

District-Wide ‘Improvement Plan’ on Agenda Without Details
The board will vote on a new ‘District Improvement Plan,’ but the text of the plan is not included in the public agenda. Such plans are often where districts embed ideological priorities or vendor relationships that impact every student, bypassing direct parental review.
Response
POSTPONE THE VOTE: Contact the Mildred ISD board. Ask: ‘The public cannot provide meaningful input on Item 9.g, the District Improvement Plan, without seeing it. Please table this vote and publish the full plan for community review.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Vague ‘Improvement Plan’ Lacks Public Detail
The board is set to approve the ‘Elementary Local Improvement Plan’ without the document being publicly attached to the agenda. These plans can be used to introduce controversial curricula or data-gathering programs like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) with little public input.
Response
DEMAND TO SEE THE PLAN: Contact the Mildred ISD board. Ask: ‘Please postpone the vote on Item 9.f, the Elementary Improvement Plan, until the full text of the plan has been posted for public review for at least 72 hours.’
💰 Impact: Potential SEL/DEI Programs
