📍 Drive to EL CAMPO ISD Office   📅 Wednesday, October 28, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming EL CAMPO ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
New Staff Payout Program with Undisclosed Cost
📅 October 28, 2026
The board will vote on creating a new ‘early resignation notice incentive program.’ This is a new spending program that will pay staff bonuses to announce their departure early. The agenda provides no information on the cost to taxpayers or the number of employees eligible, asking the board to approve a blank check.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the El Campo ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 9.A, what is the total projected cost of this new incentive program? This figure must be made public before any vote is taken.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Payouts
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Vague ‘Fund Balance’ Resolution on Consent Agenda
📅 October 28, 2026
The board plans to approve a ‘Resolution to Commit Fund Balance’ as part of the bundled consent agenda, which passes without individual discussion. This could earmark a large amount of taxpayer money for a future project, taking it off the table for potential tax relief, without a transparent public debate about the purpose or amount.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the El Campo ISD board and demand that ‘Item 4.B.3 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what this money is being committed for before it’s approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Earmark
