Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: INGRAM ISD – Monday, September 21, 2026 [9ed7d959]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague “Student Handbook” Update Requires Scrutiny

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is voting to approve an updated student handbook without providing the proposed changes to the public in the agenda. Handbooks can contain significant policy shifts affecting student discipline, technology use, and parental rights that deserve public review before a vote.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Ingram ISD administration before the meeting and ask for the proposed changes to the Student Handbook (Item VI.4) to be posted online. A ‘red-line’ version showing what’s new is standard practice.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Positive Signal (LEVEL 3)

District Eyes Taxpayer Savings Through State Co-op

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will vote on a resolution to use the Texas SmartBuy purchasing cooperative. This program leverages the state’s bulk purchasing power, which can save local taxpayer money on goods and services by securing lower prices.

How to Secure It

AMPLIFY THE WIN: Contact the board to express support for Item VI.6. Adopting fiscally responsible tools like the state purchasing co-op is a win for taxpayers that should be encouraged.

✅ Why It Matters: Potential Taxpayer Savings
