Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Southwest Metro Intermediate 288. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
Undisclosed Spending Hidden on Consent Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is approving a list of monthly expenditures and wire transfers without public itemization or discussion by bundling it into Item 5.3. This common tactic can be used to hide payments to controversial vendors for SEL, DEI, or other ideological programs.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office and demand that ‘Item 5.3. Consideration of Monthly Expenditures & Wire Transfers’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Ask for a public, itemized list of all payments before the vote.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Payments
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Personnel Decisions Hidden on Consent Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is voting on unspecified personnel items as part of a bundled “Consent Agenda,” preventing public discussion. This process can be used to approve controversial hires, such as DEI officers, without specific board debate or public input.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office and demand that ‘Item 5.2. Regular Personnel Items’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know who the district is hiring with their tax dollars.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires
MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Vague ‘Donations’ Item Requires Scrutiny
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is scheduled to take action on unspecified “Donations” under Item 7.2. It is unclear if the district is accepting money with ideological strings attached or donating public funds to an outside organization, as no details are provided.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office before the meeting and ask for the details of ‘Action Item 7.2. Donations.’ Who is the donor, what is the amount, and are there any conditions attached to this donation?

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential Ideological Strings
