Doubling Superintendent’s Spending Power Without Board Vote
The district is proposing a ‘First Reading’ of changes to Policy CH(LOCAL) that would allow the Superintendent to approve purchases up to $100,000 without a Board vote, doubling the current $50,000 limit. This reduces the Board’s direct oversight on significant spending and makes it harder for parents to track where their money is going before it’s spent.
Recommended Action Plan
This is the first reading of a policy change that doubles the Superintendent’s spending authority. The draft agenda for the December 10th meeting shows this is scheduled for a final vote then. Contact the Board of Trustees now: ‘Vote NO on the proposed change to Item 7.C, Policy CH(LOCAL). The Board must maintain oversight on spending up to $100,000 to ensure financial transparency for taxpayers.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District to Approve Official Lobbying Agenda
The Board is voting under Item 10.E to approve its official list of legislative priorities for the 90th Texas Legislative Session. This means the district will use its official position and resources to lobby state lawmakers on specific issues, which could include topics that impact parental rights, school choice, or local control.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Under Item 10.E, the district is about to approve its lobbying agenda, but the priorities are not detailed in the agenda. Open the file ’10E. FBISD Legislative Priorities’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what the district is planning to lobby for or against using our tax dollars.
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

First Grade Class Size to Exceed State Limit
The administration is asking the Board to approve a first-grade classroom with 23 students, which exceeds the state limit of 22 students per teacher. This is allowed under the district’s ‘Local Innovation Plan,’ but it means less individual attention for young children in a critical early learning year.
Recommended Action Plan
Contact the Board of Trustees before the vote on Item 10.B: ‘What is the district’s long-term plan to address enrollment and keep K-4 class sizes at or below the state-recommended 22:1 ratio? Parents are concerned about overcrowded classrooms in early grades.’
💰 Impact: Less Teacher Attention
