District Planning for November 3rd Bond Election

Response
GET THE DETAILS NOW: Attend the meeting to hear the presentation on Item 7.a. Ask the board: ‘What is the total estimated debt for this bond, and will you commit to not bundling luxury items with essential maintenance in the final proposal?’
💰 Impact: Future Property Tax Increases

‘Social-Emotional Learning’ Report on Consent Agenda
The Guidance and Counseling report, which includes updates on “social-emotional learning programs,” is buried on the consent agenda. This bundles a potentially controversial topic with routine items, allowing it to be approved without separate discussion or a recorded vote.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Lorenzo ISD board before the meeting. ‘I request that Consent Item 6.f, the Guidance and Counseling Report, be pulled for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what ‘social-emotional learning’ means in our schools before it’s approved.’
💰 Impact: Politicizing the Classroom

Vote on Undisclosed Out-of-State Travel
The board is voting to approve an out-of-state trip for “professional development.” The agenda does not specify the purpose, cost, funding source, or benefit to the district, preventing public scrutiny of how taxpayer money is being spent.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Lorenzo ISD board regarding Item 9.d. ‘Before you approve out-of-state travel, please publicly state the total cost, the source of funds, and the specific, measurable benefit this training will bring to Lorenzo students.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Travel Costs

Vote to Name School Facilities With Honoree Undisclosed
The board plans to vote on naming or renaming district facilities, but the agenda does not state whose name is being proposed. This prevents the community from weighing in on whether the individual meets the district’s own policy criteria before the vote is taken.
Response
ASK FOR THE NAME: Contact the Lorenzo ISD board regarding Item 9.g. ‘Who is being proposed to have a school facility named after them? This information should be public before the board takes a vote.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
