Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: MARTINS MILL ISD – Monday, September 14, 2026 [6532437c]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming MARTINS MILL ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Change on Consent Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to approve a ‘Budget Amendment’ as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote, with no details provided to the public. This prevents scrutiny of how taxpayer money is being reallocated and what priorities are being changed without discussion.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Martins Mill ISD board and ask that Item 5.3, the Budget Amendment, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what is being changed before it’s approved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shift

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Win (LEVEL 6)

District Affirms Compliance with Student Protection Law

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is set to formally certify its compliance with Senate Bill 12, a state law designed to keep sexually explicit materials out of school libraries. This is a positive step in enforcing state law and protecting students from inappropriate content.

How to Secure It

SECURE THE WIN: Contact the Martins Mill ISD board to thank them for taking action on Item 6.3 to comply with state law. Publicly supporting this move encourages them to continue prioritizing student safety and parental rights.
