Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: EDNA ISD – Monday, September 21, 2026 [fd1b966c]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

Vehicle Purchase Cost Not Disclosed

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to approve the purchase of a new bus, but the cost and terms are only available in an attached document not included in the main agenda. Using a purchasing cooperative like BuyBoard can be efficient but sometimes obscures the true cost compared to an open bidding process.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The cost of the new bus in Item IV.B is not disclosed. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the proposal from Longhorn Bus Sales to be posted publicly before the vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vehicle Cost

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

New Suburban Purchase Lacks Price Tag

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is set to approve buying a new Chevrolet Suburban, but the price is hidden in an attachment not provided in the agenda text. This purchase also uses the BuyBoard cooperative, which limits public visibility into whether taxpayers are getting the best possible price.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The price for the new Chevrolet Suburban in Item IV.C is hidden in an attachment. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the proposal from Caldwell Country Chevrolet be made public before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vehicle Cost
