Local Alert

📅 Tuesday, October 20, 2026 to Calendar

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

WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Amendment Vote

📅 October 20, 2026

The board is scheduled to vote on a ‘Proposed Budget Amendment’ without providing the actual document or any details to the public. This prevents taxpayers from seeing what spending changes are being made to the district’s budget before the vote happens.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: The document for the ‘Proposed Budget Amendment’ under Item V.B was not attached to the public agenda. Contact the Pearsall ISD administration and demand the amendment be posted online immediately so taxpayers can review it before the vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Blank Check for Vendors Over $25,000

📅 October 20, 2026

The board plans to approve a list of vendors eligible for payments of $25,000 or more, but the list of vendors has not been made public with the agenda. This process lacks transparency and could conceal payments to taxpayer-funded lobbying groups or ideological consultants.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda does not list the vendors to be approved under Item V.A. Contact the District Office and demand the full vendor list be published online before the vote so the public can see where their money is going.

💰 Impact: Potential Lobbying Fees
