Local Alert

📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming NEW CANEY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Vague ‘Closed Meeting’ Hides Discussion from Public

📅 October 15, 2026

The board is holding a ‘Closed Meeting’ without stating the specific legal reason, as required for transparency. This prevents the public from knowing what issues are being discussed behind closed doors before a potential vote.

Response

Contact the New Caney ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Why is the board holding a ‘Closed Meeting’ on October 15th without citing the specific provision of the Open Meetings Act that allows it? The public deserves to know the topic of any discussion held outside of public view.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Oversight

WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Undisclosed ‘Board Workshop’ with No Public Agenda

📅 October 15, 2026

The agenda lists a ‘Board Workshop’ but provides no topics for discussion. This format allows for policy direction to be set outside of a formal meeting, limiting public awareness and input on critical issues before they come up for a vote.

Response

Contact the New Caney ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Please provide a detailed agenda for the ‘Board Workshop’ on October 15th. The public has a right to know what topics will be discussed by the board.’

💰 Impact: Lack of Public Input
