Undisclosed Budget Changes Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve ‘Budget Amendment #1’ as part of the bundled consent agenda, with no discussion. The document detailing the changes was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing taxpayers from seeing what spending is being increased or cut.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Natalia ISD Board and demand that Consent Item 7.C be pulled for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. ‘Taxpayers deserve to see and discuss any changes to the budget before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

New Health Advisory Committee Members to be Approved
The board is set to approve the 2026-2027 members of the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC). These committees often influence controversial curriculum on topics like sex education and mental health, but the list of proposed members was not provided in the agenda.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Natalia ISD Board regarding Item 6.G. ‘Please publish the list of proposed SHAC members and the committee’s intended scope of work before the vote. Parents have a right to know who is advising the district on student health.’
💰 Impact: Parental Rights Bypass

New Extracurricular Code of Conduct Lacks Public Document
The board will vote on a new ‘Extracurricular Student Code of Conduct’ that will govern student athletes and club members. The draft of this new policy was not attached to the public agenda, preventing parents and students from reviewing the rules before they are enacted.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the contents of the new Extracurricular Code of Conduct. Contact the board to ask that the vote be postponed until the document is made public for review.
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

District Saves Taxpayer Money by Canceling Unnecessary Election
The Board will vote to cancel the November 2026 trustee election because all candidates are running unopposed. This common-sense move saves the district and its taxpayers the significant cost of administering an election with a predetermined outcome.
How to Secure It
SECURE THE WIN: Contact the Natalia ISD Board to thank them for saving taxpayer funds by canceling the unnecessary election under Item 6.F. This sets a good precedent for fiscal responsibility.
✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
