📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WEST HARDIN COUNTY CISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Blank Check Budget Amendment Vote
📅 October 8, 2026
The board is scheduled to vote on a budget amendment with no supporting details provided to the public in the agenda. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from seeing how their money is being reallocated before the board makes a decision.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the documentation for Item 7.G to be posted online. Email the board: ‘Taxpayers deserve to see the details of any budget amendment before you vote. Please postpone the vote on Item 7.G until the full details are made public.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 7)
Increased School Safety at No Cost to Taxpayers
📅 October 8, 2026
The board will vote on adding Reserve Resource Officers to the district, reportedly at no charge. This action would improve student and staff safety without increasing the local property tax burden.
How to Lock It In

Show up to support this common-sense safety measure. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Thank you for finding a way to increase school safety without raising taxes. Please vote YES on Item 7.E.’

✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
