🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Public Comment Rules Restrict Criticism of Employees

📅 September 1, 2026

The district’s public comment policy explicitly prohibits speakers from criticizing any HFISD employees. This rule can be used to silence parents and taxpayers who have legitimate concerns about employee performance or conduct, shielding the administration from public accountability.

Response

Contact the Hamshire-Fannett ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Item 2, the public comment rule, unacceptably restricts free speech by banning all criticism of employees. This prevents accountability. I urge you to revise this policy to align with First Amendment principles.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Accountability
