Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: POST ISD – Wednesday, September 16, 2026 [bda1f80b]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

District Seeks Exemption from Armed Officer Mandate

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will vote on a “good cause exemption” to avoid the state requirement (TEC 37.0814) of having an armed security officer present on every campus during school hours. This is a direct vote on the level of security provided for students and staff.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Post ISD Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item VIII.2, parents deserve to know why the district believes it cannot meet the state’s armed security requirement for every campus. I demand a roll-call vote on this exemption.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Campus Security

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Consultant Contract for Grant Program

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is voting to approve a contract with “CEN” for vague “technical assistance” related to the “Moody Rural M-Pact Grant.” The agenda provides no details on the cost, the services being provided, or any long-term obligations created by the grant.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Post ISD Board. ‘Before voting on Item VIII.5, please publish the full CEN contract and an explanation of the Moody Grant’s requirements. What is the cost, and what obligations will taxpayers be responsible for after the grant ends?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
