Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming REG 7 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Strategic Plan Approval Hidden on Consent Agenda
A multi-year ‘Strategic Plan’ is being approved on the consent agenda, a method typically reserved for routine, non-controversial items. This plan could introduce new spending priorities, ideological frameworks like DEI, or data collection initiatives without any public presentation or debate.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Region 7 ESC Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘A multi-year Strategic Plan is not a routine item. Pull Consent Item 3.E for a full presentation and a separate, recorded vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Priorities & Spending

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Policy Change on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve ‘Local Policy Update 32’ without a public discussion or providing the text of the changes in the agenda. This tactic can be used to pass controversial changes to rules on public comment, curriculum, or financial transparency without scrutiny.
Response
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND A VOTE: Contact the Region 7 ESC Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Consent Item 3.D, the ‘Local Policy Update 32,’ must be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Post the full text of the proposed policy changes immediately.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague ‘Interlocal’ Agreements on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve unspecified ‘Interlocal’ agreements as part of a bundled vote, with no supporting documents provided in the agenda. These agreements can lock the ESC into financial or data-sharing commitments with other government bodies without public discussion.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Region 7 ESC Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Consent Item 3.C for a separate vote. The public deserves to see the text of these Interlocal agreements before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Commitments
