Vague ‘Campus Improvement Plan’ Vote

📅 October 15, 2026

The board is set to approve the Secondary Campus Improvement Plan for the year. These plans can contain mandates for controversial programs like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI initiatives, but the plan itself is not attached for public review.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Santo ISD administration and demand a copy of the ‘Secondary Campus Improvement Plan’ for Item VIII be posted online before the vote. Parents and taxpayers have a right to see what’s in the plan before it’s approved.

💰 Impact: Potential Ideological Programs

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Potential Cost Overrun on Gym Project

📅 October 15, 2026

The board will vote on ‘Change Order #2’ for the new gymnasium and cafetorium project. Change orders often increase the total cost of a project beyond what was originally budgeted, and the cost of this change is not disclosed on the agenda.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Santo ISD administration before the meeting. Ask for the dollar amount and justification for ‘Change Order #2’ on Item VII. Taxpayers deserve to know the full cost of this project before more money is spent.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost Increase
