District Seeks Blank Check for New Bond Debt
The board will vote to authorize issuing new school building bonds and delegate authority to the administration to approve the final bond sale. This removes the final, critical details of the debt from public view and direct board accountability, potentially locking taxpayers into unfavorable terms.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: This item gives the administration a blank check to finalize a bond sale. Contact the Board (see district website for emails): ‘I oppose delegating authority for the bond sale. The Board must hold a final, public vote on the specific terms of any new debt before it is issued.’
💰 Impact: New Debt Without Final Oversight

The school board is nominating a candidate to the Montgomery Central Appraisal District Board of Directors, which oversees property appraisals for the entire county. The identity of this nominee is not disclosed in the agenda, preventing public scrutiny of a key appointment that directly affects every property taxpayer’s bill.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see district website for emails): ‘Regarding the nomination to the MCAD Board, who are you nominating and what is their position on protecting homeowners from runaway appraisals? This vote must be public, not hidden.’
💰 Impact: Unaccountable Appraisals

Secret Nominees for Health Advisory Council
The board is approving nominees to the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), a powerful committee that influences health and sex education curriculum. The identities and backgrounds of these nominees are not disclosed in the agenda, preventing parents from reviewing who will shape these sensitive policies.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board (see district website for emails): ‘Pull the SHAC Nominees item from the Consent Calendar. Publish the names and affiliations of the nominees before any vote is taken so the public can review them.’
💰 Impact: Politicized Health Curriculum

Future Curriculum Approved Without Public Review
The board plans to approve the 2027-2028 course guides for middle and high school as part of the bundled ‘Consent Calendar.’ This process rushes approval of core curriculum documents without a separate discussion, preventing parents from reviewing them for potential ideological content.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Board (see district website for emails): ‘Pull the 2027-2028 Course Guides from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. These documents must be posted online for public review well in advance of any vote.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Curricula Changes
