Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WINFREE ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOLS agenda and found 4 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Ratifying Undisclosed Contracts on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a bundle of unspecified contracts already signed by the superintendent without individual review or public discussion under Consent Item 3.2. This practice hides spending details from taxpayers and prevents scrutiny of vendors or costs before they are rubber-stamped.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email Public@wacsd.com and demand that Consent Item 3.2, ‘ratify contracts executed by the superintendent,’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see who is being paid for what before the board approves it.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Mid-Year Budget Amendments
The board is set to approve amendments to both the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 budgets without providing any public details on the amounts or purposes of the changes. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from knowing how their money is being reallocated after the budget has already been set.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Email Public@wacsd.com before the meeting: ‘Regarding Action Items 5.3 and 5.4, the public deserves to see the proposed budget amendments before the vote. Please publish the details of these financial changes immediately.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ Vote
The board will vote on one or more ‘Targeted Improvement Plans’ without providing the documents for public review. These plans can involve significant changes to curriculum or bring in outside consultants, and taxpayers have a right to see the details before approval.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The agenda for Item 5.6 does not include the ‘Targeted Improvement Plan(s)’. Email Public@wacsd.com and ask for the plan to be posted online so the public can review it for new consultants, curriculum changes, or hidden costs before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Board Resolution to Prohibit DEI
The board is voting on a resolution to formally comply with state law prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) duties and other controversial instructional requirements. This is a positive step to ensure the school’s focus remains on core academics and taxpayer funds are not used for political agendas.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email Public@wacsd.com to thank the board for taking up Action Item 5.5. Urge them to pass this resolution to protect students and taxpayers from divisive DEI initiatives.
