| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7) |

Opaque Spending Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve unspecified ‘amendments and bills’ as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote. This practice allows controversial spending, such as payments to lobbying groups, to pass without public discussion or a recorded vote.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Trinity ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Item 5.A be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see a detailed list of all bills and the full text of all amendments before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Federal Grant ‘Update’ May Hide Future Costs
The board will receive an ‘Update on Grants’ without providing any details in the agenda. Federal grants often come with ideological strings and create permanent local funding obligations after the initial money runs out.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: This is an information item, not a vote, but it’s a critical time to ask questions. Contact the District Office (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding the Grants Update (Item 4.B), please provide a list of all current and pending grants, their funding sources, and a summary of any attached requirements for curriculum, hiring, or data collection.’
💰 Impact: Future Unfunded Mandates
