📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming GOOSE CREEK CISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
Vague ‘Blank Check’ Agenda Item
📅 Scheduled Action
Agenda Item 3.E allows the board to take any “necessary” action based on its secret closed-door discussion. This vague language fails to provide the public with proper notice of what will be voted on, potentially allowing major decisions on spending or policy to pass without public scrutiny.
Response

Contact the Goose Creek CISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Item 3.E is unacceptably vague and violates the spirit of the Open Meetings Act. I urge you to table this item and provide specific notice for any future actions.’

💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
Secret Superintendent Contract Negotiations
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote on amending the superintendent’s contract after discussing the details in a closed session. Taxpayers have no information on the proposed changes, which could include a significant salary increase, a costly buyout, or a long-term extension funded by their property taxes.
Response

Contact the Goose Creek CISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 3.D, I demand that the full financial details of the proposed superintendent contract amendment be made public before any vote is taken. Taxpayers deserve to know the cost.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Contract Costs
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Public Comment Restricted to Agenda Items
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is limiting public comment to only those topics it has already placed on the agenda. This policy prevents parents and taxpayers from raising new or urgent concerns in a public setting, reducing the board’s direct accountability to the community.
Response

Contact the Goose Creek CISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I urge you to amend board policy to allow for public comment on any topic, not just pre-approved agenda items. True accountability means listening to all taxpayer concerns.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
