Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MUNDAY CISD agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
First Step Towards Major New Bond Debt
The board is beginning discussions for a new bond, which could lead to a significant property tax increase. This is the earliest opportunity for taxpayers to get involved and demand fiscal restraint before a multi-million dollar package is finalized.
Response
GET IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR: Show up to the meeting for Item 7. Contact the Board via the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘As you begin bond planning, I urge you to prioritize only essential needs, reject luxuries, and commit to a transparent process that respects the taxpayer.’
💰 Impact: Future Property Tax Hikes

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |

Secret Criteria for Superintendent Evaluation
The board will approve the official tool used to evaluate the superintendent’s performance without making the criteria public. Taxpayers deserve to know if the superintendent is being judged on student academic achievement and fiscal discipline, or on subjective political metrics.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 6, the Superintendent Evaluation Instrument must be made public before the vote. Taxpayers have a right to see the metrics used to judge the district’s leader.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Accountability

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Taxpayers to Fund Superintendent’s Spouse’s Travel
The board is voting to use district funds to pay for the superintendent’s spouse to travel from October 25-27. This use of taxpayer money for a non-employee’s travel requires clear public justification and scrutiny.
Response
QUESTION THE EXPENSE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 9.A, please provide the public justification for using taxpayer funds for a non-employee’s travel. What is the educational benefit to Munday CISD students?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Travel Costs
|
| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Undisclosed ‘Training’ on the Agenda
The board is set to approve ‘upcoming training’ with no details provided about the content, provider, or cost. This lack of transparency could conceal spending on politically-charged topics like DEI or SEL.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.D.5, what is the topic of this training, who is the provider, and what is the cost to taxpayers? Please provide the materials for public review before any vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
