| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Committee Formalized
The Board of Trustees is operating a formal “Legislative Advocacy Committee.” This institutionalizes the use of district resources and staff time to lobby the state legislature, often against taxpayer interests like property tax relief and educational freedom.
Response
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the LISD Board. ‘What is the budget for the Legislative Advocacy Committee, and what specific legislation is it using our tax dollars to lobby for or against? This activity must be fully transparent.’
💰 Impact: Weaponizing Tax Dollars

Undisclosed Federal Program Details
The board is receiving an update on “Federal Programs” with no public documents attached. Federal grants often come with long-term hiring mandates and data-sharing requirements that create permanent costs for local taxpayers after the grant money is gone.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Email the LISD Board. ‘Regarding Item G.3.a, please publish the full details of the Federal Programs being discussed. Taxpayers need to know what strings are attached to federal money before the district is locked into permanent new costs.’
💰 Impact: Future Unfunded Mandates

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is discussing its annual update to “Board Operating Procedures,” but the proposed changes are not included in the public agenda packet. These procedures govern public comment rules and board transparency, and any changes must be scrutinized.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains hidden changes to public comment rules or transparency policies.
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
