District to Spend Nearly $1 Million from Savings on Capital Projects
The board will vote on a budget amendment to spend $1,276,476 on disaster-related capital projects. While $357,920 comes from insurance proceeds, the remaining $918,556 will be drawn directly from the district’s fund balance, significantly depleting taxpayer savings without a dedicated vote.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Sunray CISD board before the meeting regarding Item 5. Ask ‘What is the current fund balance, and what will it be after this $918,556 withdrawal? What is the district’s policy on minimum fund balance levels to ensure financial stability?’
💰 Impact: $918,556 from Savings

District Endorses Taxpayer-Funded Lobby Group for Training
As part of its annual investment policy review, the board is set to approve the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO) as an official training source. TASBO is an association that lobbies the Texas Legislature, often against the interests of taxpayers, using public funds.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Sunray CISD board. Ask them to amend Item 12 to remove TASBO as an approved training provider and seek fiscally neutral, non-lobbying alternatives for investment training.
💰 Impact: Endorsing a Lobby Group

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for New Library Book Policy
The board is voting on revisions to the policy for selecting and challenging library books. While the agenda claims it aligns with state law and involves parents, the actual text of the proposed policy EFB(LOCAL) has not been made public in the agenda packet.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 9 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it strengthens or weakens parental rights. The district must publish the full text of proposed policy EFB(LOCAL) before the vote.
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Rights
