Board to Adopt Secret ‘Guardrails’ Policy

📅 August 31, 2026

The board is scheduled to approve “Board Guardrails,” which are rules defining what actions are not allowed. However, the actual text of these guardrails has not been provided to the public, preventing any review of what new limits are being put on the district.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Cedar Hill ISD board. ‘Regarding Item V.A, the ‘Board Guardrails’ document is missing from the agenda. Please publish the full text of the proposed policy and pull this item for full discussion, not a consent vote.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Secret Criteria for Board Self-Evaluation

📅 August 31, 2026

The board is voting to approve a “Self-Evaluation Tool” to grade its own performance. The actual tool and its evaluation criteria are not included in the public agenda, meaning taxpayers cannot see what the board considers a measure of success.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Cedar Hill ISD board. ‘Regarding Item V.B, the ‘Board Self-Evaluation Tool’ is missing from the agenda. Taxpayers deserve to see the criteria by which you measure your own success. Publish the document before any vote.’

💰 Impact: No Public Accountability
