Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WINNSBORO ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Board to Vote on New Restrictions for Public Comment
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote on a resolution to amend Policy BED(LOCAL), which governs public comments at meetings. Changes to these policies are almost always used to reduce the time citizens can speak or limit who is allowed to address the board, making it harder for taxpayers to hold them accountable.
Response

PACK THE ROOM: Show up Tuesday and sign up to speak against Item 9.A. Contact the board: ‘Do not amend Policy BED(LOCAL) to restrict public comment. The public’s right to be heard is essential for accountability.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

Major School ‘Improvement Plans’ Hidden on Consent Agenda
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is set to approve the 2026-2027 District and Campus Improvement Plans, plus a Corrective Improvement Plan, as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote. These plans often contain controversial changes to curriculum or policy, such as new SEL or DEI initiatives, and bundling them prevents public discussion.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Winnsboro ISD board and demand that Items 6.B and 6.C be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what is in these ‘Improvement Plans’ before they are approved.

💰 Impact: Hidden Curriculum Changes
