Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming DESOTO ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Board to Appoint New Trustee, Bypassing Voters

📅 September 10, 2026

The board will vote on a process to fill a vacant trustee seat by appointment rather than holding a special election. This process allows the sitting board members to hand-pick a new trustee, denying DeSoto ISD voters the right to choose their own representative.

Response

Contact the DeSoto ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 5.C, the voters should choose their representative. I urge you to fill the Place 2 vacancy by a special election, not by appointment.’

💰 Impact: Voter Disenfranchisement
