Local Alert

📅 Monday, October 12, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WATER VALLEY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

ALERT (LEVEL 8)

New High-Paid ‘Assistant Superintendent’ Position Created

📅 October 12, 2026

The board will vote to create and fund a new ‘Assistant Superintendent of District Governance & Leadership Succession’ position after discussing it in a closed-door session. This adds a costly administrative role to manage a future leadership change, increasing bureaucratic overhead at taxpayer expense.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the board to justify this new administrative position. ‘Regarding the new Assistant Superintendent role, please explain why this can’t be handled by existing staff and provide the full cost to taxpayers before voting.’

💰 Impact: New Six-Figure Salary

WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

Vague Budget Amendments Require Scrutiny

📅 October 12, 2026

The board will vote on unspecified amendments to the 2026-2027 budget. These changes can reallocate taxpayer money to new programs or priorities without the public scrutiny of the original budget process.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the proposed budget amendments to be posted online before the vote. ‘Taxpayers deserve to see exactly what changes are being made to the budget before you approve them.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
