Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming GROESBECK 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

Undisclosed Plan for Tuition-Based Pre-K
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is voting on a “Tuition Paid Prekindergarten” plan to be sent to the Texas Education Agency as part of the consent agenda. However, the letter detailing the cost to parents and the program’s rules was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing public review before the vote.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Groesbeck ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Consent Item IX.C for a separate discussion and vote. Please publish the ‘PK TUITION LETTER TO TEA’ and explain the cost to families before approving this new fee-based program.’

💰 Impact: New Fees for Parents
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Superintendent Given Authority to Finalize Contract in Private
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is being asked to approve a contractor for the H.O. Whitehurst intercom project and then delegate final contract negotiation authority to the unelected superintendent. This means the final contract terms and cost may not come back to the board for a public vote, reducing transparency.
Response

Email the Groesbeck ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VIII, please amend the resolution to require the final negotiated contract for the intercom system be brought back to the board for a public, recorded vote before it is signed. Taxpayers deserve to see the final price tag.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Final Contract Terms
