Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: BULLARD ISD – Monday, September 14, 2026 [5ee8fec2]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming BULLARD ISD agenda. There are 4 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Requires Verification

Major Construction Project Without Stated Funding Source

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is advancing a major Early Childhood Center project to the next phase, a step that commits significant taxpayer resources. The agenda does not state if this project and its funding were approved by voters in a bond election, raising concerns about non-voter-approved debt.

Response

ASK THE FUNDING QUESTION: Contact the Bullard ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding the Early Childhood Center project in Item VII.E, what is the total estimated cost and how is it being funded? Was this project part of a voter-approved bond?’

💰 Impact: Potential Non-Voter-Approved Debt

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Conference

📅 Scheduled Action

The board president is reporting on the TASA/TASB conference. These organizations use taxpayer money to lobby the Texas Legislature, often for policies that lead to higher taxes, less transparency, and reduced local control.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Bullard ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item IV.B.1, how much in taxpayer money is spent annually on TASB/TASA membership dues, conference fees, and travel? Taxpayers should not fund groups that lobby against them.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Book and Material Approval List

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is voting to approve a ‘Title Consideration List’ without disclosing the titles to the public in the agenda. This prevents parents from reviewing new library books or instructional materials that could contain controversial or age-inappropriate content before they are approved.

Response

DEMAND THE LIST: Contact the Bullard ISD Board of Trustees before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item VII.C, please publicly post the full “Title Consideration List” so parents can review the materials you are voting to approve for our students.’

💰 Impact: Politicized Classroom Materials

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague “Update #127” Hides Potential Policy Changes

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is scheduled to vote on ‘Update #127’ with no description of its contents in the agenda. This lack of transparency prevents the public from knowing what policy changes are being approved before the vote is taken.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda provides no details on ‘Update #127’ under Item VII.A. Contact the Bullard ISD Board and demand the full text of this update be posted publicly online well before any vote is taken.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
