📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming ROCKWALL ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Parent Grievance Hearing Held Behind Closed Doors
📅 November 2, 2026
The board is conducting a ‘Level Three Parent Grievance Appeal Hearing’ and all related deliberations entirely in closed session. This process shields the board’s decision-making from public scrutiny and prevents taxpayers from seeing how their elected officials handle parent concerns.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Rockwall ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Items 4.A and 5.A, while student privacy must be protected, holding the entire grievance hearing and deliberations in secret erodes public trust. The final vote must be taken in open session with a clear, public explanation of the board’s reasoning.’

💰 Impact: Lack of Accountability
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Public Comment Restricted to Agenda Items
📅 November 2, 2026
The board is limiting public comments only to items on this special meeting’s agenda, per Board Policy BED (LOCAL). This prevents parents and taxpayers from addressing other urgent concerns they may have with the district during this meeting.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Rockwall ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 2, while limiting comment at special meetings is sometimes necessary, the public’s right to be heard is paramount. Please ensure ample opportunity for open-topic public comment at all regular board meetings.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
