Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CARRIZO SPRINGS CISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

District to Spend $406,000 on Vague ‘Leadership Development’

📅 Scheduled Action

The district plans to approve a $406,000 contract with the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) for “professional learning” and “instructional coaching.” This is a significant expense for consultant services with no clear, measurable outcomes for student achievement listed in the agenda.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Carrizo Springs CISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand the $406,000 NIET contract be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. What specific, measurable student outcomes will this spending produce?’

💰 Impact: $406,000 (Consultant Contract)

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Changes on Consent Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is set to approve unspecified “Budget Amendments” as part of a bundled consent agenda vote. Without the documents attached for public review, taxpayers cannot see what funds are being moved, what programs are being cut or added, or the total financial impact.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Carrizo Springs CISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull the “Budget Amendments” from the Consent Agenda. The public deserves to see the details of these financial changes before you vote. Please publish the full amendment document online.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
