District Proposes New ‘Closed’ Days to Slow Public Records Requests

📅 September 21, 2026

The board plans to approve a resolution establishing ‘non-business days’ for the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) for 2026 and 2027. This action, hidden on the consent agenda, can be used to create blackout periods that delay or obstruct the public’s legal right to access government records.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Shallowater ISD Board before the meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Consent Item 12.D for a separate vote. Please publish the proposed calendar of ‘non-business days’ for the Public Information Act immediately so taxpayers can see how you are defining a ‘business day’ before you vote.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
