📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming TIMPSON ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Moves to Slow Down Public Information Requests
📅 October 13, 2026
Under Consent Agenda Item V.C, the board will vote on a resolution to designate the maximum of 10 additional ‘non-business days’ for responding to Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) requests. While legally permitted, this action uses a provision in the law to delay the release of public records to taxpayers and parents.
Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the board: ‘Regarding Item V.C, please vote NO on designating the maximum number of non-business days. This resolution weakens the Texas Public Information Act and reduces the district’s transparency to the taxpayers it serves.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
