Undisclosed Budget Changes on Consent Agenda

📅 2026-09-14

The board plans to approve unspecified ‘Budget Amendments’ as part of a bundled consent agenda, preventing individual discussion and scrutiny. This common tactic can be used to pass significant financial changes without a public hearing on the specific items.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Gonzales ISD board (see official agenda for contact info) and demand that ‘Budget Amendments’ (Item 3.A.2) be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion. Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how their money is being moved before the vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Major Win (LEVEL 8)

District Affirms Compliance with State DEI Ban

📅 2026-09-14

The board will vote to formally certify its compliance with state law prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) duties and related instructional requirements. This action officially puts the district on record as rejecting ideological mission creep and focusing on core academics.

How to Secure It

SECURE THE WIN: Attend the meeting to thank the Board for certifying their compliance with the state’s DEI ban. Public support for this action helps make it the standard for all districts to prioritize academics over ideology.
