Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: UNION GROVE ISD – Monday, September 14, 2026 [ef7aade5]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming UNION GROVE ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Amendment

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is scheduled to vote on amending the budget under Item 9.A.1. However, the attachment detailing these changes was not included in the public documents, preventing taxpayers from seeing what money is being moved and for what purpose.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The official agenda references a ‘Budget Amendment’ file for Item 9.A.1, but its contents are not available for public review. Contact the District Office and demand this document be published online before the vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Short-Term Debt Renewal Without Stated Amount

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to renew a loan agreement with Texas Bank and Trust Company. While this is a short-term renewal, the agenda item fails to state the dollar amount of the loan, obscuring the scale of the district’s debt obligations from the public.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Union Grove ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘What is the principal amount of the loan being renewed in Item 9.A.2? This information should be public before you vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Loan Amount
