Undisclosed ‘School Board School’ Training
📅 October 5, 2026
The board is reviewing materials for a ‘School Board School.’ The agenda provides no details on the content, provider, or cost of this training, preventing public oversight. This could be routine governance training or could involve taxpayer-funded lobbying groups like TASB or ideological consultants.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the PSJA ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item IV.B.2, please publicly release the ‘School Board School slides and outline’ before the meeting. Who is providing this training, what is the cost, and is the provider a political or lobbying organization?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Training Costs

Vague ‘Community Engagement’ Scripts
📅 October 5, 2026
The board is meeting to finalize ‘scripts’ for a ‘Community Engagement and Outreach’ campaign. This could be a legitimate effort to inform the public, or it could be a taxpayer-funded PR campaign to promote a future bond, tax increase, or controversial policy without transparent debate.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the PSJA ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item IV.B.1, what is the purpose of the ‘Community Engagement and Outreach’ campaign? Will taxpayer funds be used to hire outside consultants or PR firms to promote a specific policy, bond, or tax increase?’

💰 Impact: Potential PR Campaign
