Proposal to Restrict Public Comment at Board Meetings
The board is considering a policy change that appears to limit public comments at regular meetings to only items already on the agenda. This move would prevent parents and taxpayers from raising new concerns or holding the board accountable on issues the district has not pre-approved for discussion.
Response
PROTECT FREE SPEECH: Contact the Henderson ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and demand they vote NO on Item 7.E. Tell them: ‘Parents and taxpayers must have the right to address their elected officials on any topic, not just what’s on the agenda.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

Plan to Double Superintendent’s Unapproved Spending Limit
The board will vote on a policy change to double the amount the superintendent can spend without prior board approval, raising the limit from $25,000 to $50,000. This reduces direct oversight and transparency on how taxpayer money is spent on large purchases.
Response
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Contact the Henderson ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) before Tuesday’s meeting. Urge them to vote NO on Item 7.D and keep the $25,000 spending limit for board approval to ensure taxpayer accountability.
💰 Impact: Reduced Fiscal Oversight

District Certifies Compliance with Anti-DEI Law
The board is voting to certify its compliance with SB 12, the state law that prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices and initiatives in public schools. This action formally commits the district to focusing on academics over ideology and ensures taxpayer dollars are not used for divisive political programming.
How to Secure It
SUPPORT THIS VOTE: Contact the Henderson ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and thank them for certifying compliance with SB 12. Ask for this to be passed unanimously to send a clear message that HISD is focused on academic excellence, not political agendas.
✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
