Opaque Final General Fund Budget Amendments
📅 2026-08-31
The board is voting on three separate budget amendments and the final amended general fund budget, all bundled into one item. The agenda provides no details on what these amendments change, preventing public scrutiny of last-minute spending decisions.

Undisclosed Changes to SHARS-Medicaid Fund
📅 2026-08-31

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Jourdanton ISD board. ‘Regarding Item IV, what changes are being made in Budget Amendment 012? The public deserves to see the details before you vote on the final SHARS-Medicaid budget.’
