Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WEATHERFORD ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Budget Amendment Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to pass ‘General Fund Budget Amendment #2’ as part of the consent agenda, a bundle of items passed with a single vote and no discussion. This process can be used to approve new spending or shift funds without public scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Weatherford ISD board. ‘I demand Consent Item 11.A, the Budget Amendment, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. The public deserves to know how their money is being moved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
New Courses Proposed Without Public Curriculum Review
The board is set to approve new high school and middle school courses and academic planning guides for the 2027-2028 school year. The agenda provides no details on the content of these new courses, which could introduce politically-charged or ideological material into the classroom without parental review.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Weatherford ISD board. ‘Before voting on Items 13.A, 13.B, and 13.C, please publish the full descriptions and proposed curriculum materials for all new courses for public review and comment.’
💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |
|
Counseling Program Evaluation Could Open Door to SEL
The board will hear a ‘Student Services and Counseling Program Evaluation.’ These evaluations are often the first step to justify hiring expensive Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) consultants or adopting controversial SEL curricula that can usurp parental authority.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Weatherford ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 10.C, please make the full Counseling Program Evaluation public. Taxpayers need to know if this evaluation recommends SEL programs or vendors before any future spending is considered.’
💰 Impact: Future SEL Spending
