Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming QUANAH ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
District to Purchase Unspecified Housing
The board will vote on purchasing housing for the school district. The agenda provides no details on the cost, location, or purpose of this real estate purchase, leaving taxpayers in the dark about a major financial commitment.
Response
DEMAND DETAILS: Contact the Quanah ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item F.1.f, what is the total cost of this housing purchase, who will it be for, and why is this a necessary expense for the district? This vote must be postponed until the public has the details.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Real Estate Purchase

| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Two Undisclosed Budget Amendments
The board plans to vote on two separate budget amendments, #3 and #4, without providing any public documents explaining what money is being moved or for what purpose. This practice hides mid-year spending changes from taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Quanah ISD board. Ask: ‘The public deserves to see the details of Budget Amendments #3 and #4 (Items F.1.g and F.1.h) before you vote. Please publish the documents and explain these spending changes.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Changes
|
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Blank Check for Employee Stipends
The board will vote to approve ‘retention stipends’ for employees without disclosing the total cost to taxpayers. While retaining good employees is important, approving payments with no stated dollar amount is fiscally irresponsible.
Response
DEMAND THE PRICE TAG: Contact the Quanah ISD board and ask: ‘What is the total taxpayer cost of the retention stipends in Item F.1.e? The board should not approve a blank check.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Employee Bonuses
