Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CENTRAL ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Group Renewal
The district plans to renew its Unemployment Compensation program with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), an organization that lobbies the state legislature against taxpayer interests like property tax relief and parental rights. This payment is bundled on the consent agenda, hiding it from public scrutiny and using local tax dollars to fund political advocacy in Austin.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Central ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘I demand Consent Item 3.D be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see which trustees support funding TASB’s political lobbying.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees

Undisclosed Purchase Approval
The board is scheduled to vote on an unspecified “Purchase Approval” with no details provided on the agenda. This prevents taxpayers from knowing what is being bought, from which vendor, or how much of their money is being spent before the vote is final.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Central ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 4.B, what is the purchase, who is the vendor, and what is the total cost? Please provide this information to the public before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Opaque Budget Amendments
The board will vote on “Budget Amendments” without providing any supporting documents or details on the agenda. This practice hides changes in spending from public view, preventing any oversight on how taxpayer money is being reallocated between programs.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Central ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 4.C, please publish the proposed budget amendments online so the public can review them before the board votes.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shifts
