Undisclosed Budget Amendment on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve “Budget Amendment #1” without public discussion by placing it on the consent agenda. The details of what money is being moved, from where, and for what purpose have not been disclosed, preventing taxpayer oversight of district spending.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Big Sandy ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Item 4)f, the Budget Amendment, must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation and a separate roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being reallocated.’

Vague “Region 7 E-Agreements” on Consent Agenda

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Big Sandy ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Pull Item 4)c from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. What specific services and costs are included in the Region 7 E-Agreements? Post the full agreements online before any vote.’
