📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LYTLE ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
$250,000 Cost Overrun on Bond Project
📅 October 26, 2026
The board will vote to approve a $250,000 increase to the ‘Guaranteed Maximum Price’ for the 2024 Bond Transportation Facility. This represents a significant cost overrun that taxpayers will have to cover, beyond what was originally presented to and approved by voters.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Lytle ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for emails). ‘Regarding Item VII.A, why is a $250,000 cost increase necessary for the Transportation Facility? Taxpayers deserve a full public explanation for bond project overruns before you approve this.’

💰 Impact: $250,000 Cost Overrun
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Employee Stipend Schedule
📅 October 26, 2026
The board is scheduled to take action on a ‘Stipend Schedule’ without providing the document or a summary of changes in the public agenda. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from seeing who is getting extra pay and why before the vote is taken.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Lytle ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for emails). ‘Regarding Item VII.B, please publish the proposed Stipend Schedule online immediately so the public can review it before you vote. Taxpayers deserve to know the details of any pay increases.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Pay Increases
