Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming COLDSPRING-OAKHURST CISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Budget Amendment in Bundled Vote
A budget amendment is scheduled for approval on the consent agenda, meaning it will likely pass without individual discussion. The details of what funds are being moved and for what purpose have not been made public in the agenda, preventing taxpayer oversight.
Response
PULL THE ITEM: Contact the Board of Trustees. ‘Please pull Item 9.I, the Budget Amendment, from the consent agenda. The public deserves a full presentation and discussion on any changes to the taxpayer-approved budget before a vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Fund Transfers

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Large Expenditures Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve all expenditures over $50,000 in a single, un-debated vote as part of the consent agenda. This practice obscures significant spending from public view and prevents discussion on individual high-cost items.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees. ‘I request that Item 9.G, Expenditures Greater Than $50,000, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. Taxpayers deserve to know where our money is going before it’s approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Campus Improvement Plans Lack Public Review
The board is set to approve Campus Improvement Plans without providing the documents for public review ahead of the meeting. These plans can introduce significant changes to curriculum and campus policies, including controversial concepts like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI initiatives.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board of Trustees. ‘Regarding Item 10.A, please postpone the vote on the Campus Improvement Plans until the full documents have been posted online for public review. Parents have a right to see what you’re planning for our schools.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Curriculum Changes
