$15.2M in Spending Bundled on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve over $15.2 million in spending for technology, software, and other services through purchasing cooperatives. This large expenditure, including $13 million for computers and software, is bundled on the consent agenda, limiting public discussion and scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘I demand Item J.1.c, Cooperative Purchases, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how you are spending over $15 million.’
💰 Impact: $15.2M in Spending

Committee Appointed to Renew Plan to Sidestep State Law
The board is appointing a committee to renew its “District of Innovation” plan, which grants LISD exemptions from state laws. Current exemptions allow the district to bypass certain teacher certification rules and parental grievance procedures, and the new committee could expand these.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding Item M.2, I am concerned about the renewal of the District of Innovation plan. Please ensure the committee’s process is fully transparent and that any proposed exemptions from state law are publicly debated before a vote.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability

District Certifies Compliance with State Ban on DEI
The board is formally certifying its compliance with Senate Bill 12, the state law prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and activities. The district has updated multiple board policies to reflect the ban, ensuring taxpayer funds are not used for these divisive programs.
How to Secure It
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for complying with state law and voting to approve Item M.3. Email the Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Thank you for certifying compliance with SB 12 and ensuring that divisive DEI initiatives have no place in our schools. I support your vote on Item M.3.’
