📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming GREENWOOD ISD agenda. There are 4 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
Debt Issuance Hidden on Consent Agenda
📅 2026-09-09
The district plans to issue new debt, a “Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note,” by placing its approval on the consent agenda. This tactic bundles borrowing with routine items, reducing public scrutiny and avoiding a separate discussion and recorded vote.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Greenwood ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Item 7.F, the issuance of new debt, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know why the district is borrowing money and who supports it.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Interest Payments
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
District Seeks Waiver for Overcrowded Classrooms
📅 2026-09-09
The district is asking for state approval to exceed the maximum legal class size of 22 students per teacher in elementary grades. This directly impacts the quality of education and indicates potential resource management or facility planning issues.
Response

DEMAND AN EXPLANATION: Contact the Greenwood ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 8.D, why is the district unable to meet the state-mandated class size limits? Taxpayers deserve a full explanation of the staffing or facility shortages before you approve this waiver.’

💰 Impact: Lower Quality of Education
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)
Board to Approve Book Fair Selections
📅 2026-09-09
The school board is taking direct action to approve the list of books available at campus book fairs. This is a critical opportunity for parents to ensure that materials sold to students are age-appropriate and align with community standards.
Response

ASK FOR THE LIST: Contact the Greenwood ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 8.B, please publish the full list of books being considered for the book fairs before the meeting. Parents have a right to review these materials before they are approved.’

💰 Impact: Inappropriate Content for Students
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) Approval
📅 2026-09-09
The board will approve the members of the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), a committee that influences health curriculum and policies. Parents should investigate the proposed members to ensure they represent community values before they are approved.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Greenwood ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 8.A, please publish the list of proposed SHAC members online before the vote so parents can review their qualifications and affiliations.’

💰 Impact: Politicized Health Curriculum
