🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Vague ‘Energy Savings’ Contract with Schneider Electric
📅 Scheduled Action
The district is considering a “School Lighting Project” with Schneider Electric under Item II. These projects are often structured as long-term debt through “energy savings performance contracts” that can obligate taxpayers for years without voter approval, and the promised savings don’t always materialize.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Lubbock ISD administration and ask for the full contract details for Item II, the Schneider Electric project. Ask: ‘Is this an energy savings performance contract, what is the total cost, and will it be financed with debt that bypasses voters?’

💰 Impact: Potential Long-Term Debt
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Potential Vote on Undisclosed Closed-Session Items
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will reconvene from a private “Executive Closed Session” and may immediately vote on items discussed in secret, as noted in Item VII.A. This practice limits public oversight on potentially significant decisions involving taxpayer money, property, or personnel.
Response

DEMAND OPEN DELIBERATION: Contact the Lubbock ISD board. ‘Before any vote under Item VII.A, the board must fully explain the matter being voted on and the financial impact to taxpayers. Important decisions should not be made in secret.’

💰 Impact: Secret Decisions
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed “Staff Action Items” on Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The agenda lists “Staff Action Items” under Item V without providing any description of what those actions are. This prevents the public from knowing what is being decided in their name or with their money, making public input impossible.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Lubbock ISD board and ask for a detailed breakdown of the ‘Staff Action Items’ under Item V to be posted online before the meeting. ‘The public cannot provide input on agenda items that are completely undisclosed.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
