Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming BURLESON ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |

Board to Appoint New Trustee, Bypassing Voters
The board will deliberate on candidates for a vacant trustee seat in a closed session (Item 3.A.1) and then appoint one in an open session (Item 5.A). This process denies voters the opportunity to choose their own representative in a special election, allowing the current board to hand-pick a new member.
Response
DEMAND A SPECIAL ELECTION: Contact the Burleson ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 5.A, the voters of Burleson ISD, not the sitting board members, should choose the next trustee. Please call for a special election to fill the Place 1 vacancy instead of making an appointment.’
💰 Impact: Voter Disenfranchisement

Vote on Unspecified Purchases Over $25,000
The board is scheduled to approve requisitions greater than $25,000 under Action Item 14.B. The agenda provides no public details on what these purchases are for, who the vendors are, or the total cost to taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Burleson ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Before voting on Item 14.B, please publicly disclose the vendors, specific items, and total cost for all requisitions over $25,000. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being spent.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
