Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CRANDALL ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8) |
|
Superintendent Contract Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve the Superintendent’s employment contract, a major financial document, as part of a bundled “consent agenda” vote. This prevents public discussion on the contract’s salary, benefits, and performance clauses, reducing transparency and accountability for a key district expense.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Crandall ISD Board of Trustees. ‘I demand Item 7.E, the Superintendent’s Contract, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know the details of this major financial commitment before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Salary & Benefits

New “Behavioral Threat Assessment” Manual Approved Without Discussion
The district is approving a “Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management Operational Manual” on the consent agenda, bypassing public discussion. These programs can involve student surveillance or data collection without clear parental consent, and the details of this manual are not provided in the agenda.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Crandall ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Regarding Item 7.B, please publish the Behavioral Threat Assessment manual online before the vote. Parents and taxpayers need to understand what data will be collected on students and how it will be used.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting

District Audit Report Approved Without Public Review
The annual District Audit Report is being approved on the consent agenda, preventing public discussion of its findings. Given this item was also discussed in a closed session, burying its approval limits transparency on how taxpayer money is being managed and whether any issues were found.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Crandall ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Pull Item 7.C, the District Audit Report, from the consent agenda for a public presentation of the findings. Taxpayers deserve to see the results of the audit before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Financial Problems
