Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming WICHITA FALLS ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
District Adopts Policies from Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
📅 Scheduled Action
Minutes from the August 17 meeting, attached to this agenda for approval, confirm the Board unanimously adopted a policy package from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). This commits the district to policies crafted by an organization that actively lobbies in Austin for higher taxes and against parental rights.
Response

The vote is past, but accountability is now. Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I am concerned by the Board’s unanimous vote on August 17 to adopt TASB’s policy recommendations. Why is WFISD outsourcing its policymaking to a lobby group that works against taxpayer interests?’

💰 Impact: Entrenching Anti-Taxpayer Policies
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Taxpayer Money Spent on Governance “Coach”
📅 Scheduled Action
Attached meeting minutes and a progress tracker (Item VIII.A) reveal the district is using the “Lone Star Governance” model, which involves a paid “coach” and a complex TEA-developed evaluation framework. This represents consultant creep, spending taxpayer money on bureaucratic processes that may not directly improve classroom outcomes.
Response

Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the Lone Star Governance program mentioned in Item VIII.A, what is the total cost of the contract with the LSG coach, and what specific, measurable improvements in student achievement can be attributed to this spending?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees
