Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming BARBERS HILL ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |

Undisclosed Budget Amendment Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is voting to approve ‘Budget Amendment #1’ as part of a bundled consent agenda, with no supporting documents or explanation of what is being changed. This practice hides spending shifts from public scrutiny, preventing taxpayers from seeing how their money is being reallocated before it’s a done deal.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Barbers Hill ISD Board of Trustees. ‘I demand Consent Item 6.E, Budget Amendment #1, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see a detailed breakdown of this amendment before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shift

Board to Vote on Undisclosed Land Donation
The board is voting to donate approximately one acre of surplus, taxpayer-owned property and is delegating authority to negotiate the deal behind closed doors. The agenda provides no information on who is receiving this public asset or for what purpose, preventing any public oversight.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Barbers Hill ISD Board of Trustees before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 8.A, who is the recipient of the one-acre land donation, what is the appraised value of the property, and what public purpose does this donation serve? This information must be public before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Public Asset
