📍 Drive to WHITNEY ISD Office   📅 Monday, September 14, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming WHITNEY ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
District to Discuss Attending Lobbying Conference
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will discuss attending the TASA/TASB conference. The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) is a taxpayer-funded association that actively lobbies the Texas Legislature for policies that often lead to higher property taxes, reduced parental rights, and less local control.
Response

Contact the Whitney ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 10.E.2, please end the district’s relationship with TASB. Our tax dollars should not be used to fund organizations that lobby against taxpayer interests.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)
Board Planning Next Steps for Major Facility Spending
📅 Scheduled Action
Following a facilities assessment presentation, the board will discuss “next steps.” This is often the first move toward a multi-million dollar bond proposal or issuing Certificates of Obligation debt without voter approval.
Response

Contact the Whitney ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 10.E.1, I urge you to prioritize maintenance over new construction and to commit that any proposed debt for facilities will be put before the voters for approval.’

💰 Impact: Potential Future Bond/Debt
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 Scheduled Action
The agenda includes “Payment of bills” under the Superintendent’s Report, but the detailed check register was not included in the provided documents. This common practice can obscure payments to controversial vendors or lobbyists.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Check payment for Aug 2026.pdf’ attached to Item 10.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains payments to lobbyists or ideological consultants.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
