Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming PREMIER HIGH SCHOOLS agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
Unexplained $7M Revenue and $975k Security Cut Hidden in Budget
The board plans to approve a final budget amendment on the consent agenda that adds a new, unexplained $7 million revenue line for Premier High Schools. The same amendment, Item C.1, cuts nearly $1 million from ‘Security and Monitoring Services,’ even as the board plans a closed-door session to discuss security audit findings.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email publiccomment@responsiveed.com and contact the Board: ‘Pull Item C.1 from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Taxpayers deserve an explanation for the new $7M revenue source and the rationale for cutting security by nearly $1 million.’
💰 Impact: Reduced School Security

Major Campus Transfer and Expansion Plans Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board has bundled several major items for a single vote without discussion, including a ‘Campus Transfer Agreement’ (Item C.4) and requests for state rule waivers for expansion (Item C.6). The actual agreements, plans, and waiver details are not included in the agenda, preventing public review before the vote.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Email publiccomment@responsiveed.com and contact the Board: ‘Items C.2, C.4, C.5, and C.6 are too significant for the consent agenda. Please publish the supporting documents for the Campus Transfer Agreement and the requested TEA waivers before any vote is taken.’
