Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming PECOS-BARSTOW-TOYAH ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Vague Spending and Land Deals Hidden on Consent Agenda
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is set to approve multiple items with significant financial implications in a single vote, without public discussion. These include a ‘one-time employee retention payment’ with no stated funding source (Item 9.F), unspecified ‘Budget Amendments’ (Item 9.E), and a land use agreement with a private energy company (Item 9.G). Bundling these items prevents scrutiny of how taxpayer money and assets are being managed.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the PBTISD Board of Trustees before the meeting. ‘I demand that Items 9.E, 9.F, and 9.G be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know the details of employee payments, budget changes, and land deals before you approve them.’
