| 🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6) |
|
Blank Check Budget Amendment
The board is voting on a budget amendment without providing any details to the public. This lack of transparency makes it impossible to know how taxpayer money is being reallocated or if new, unbudgeted spending is being approved.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.F, taxpayers deserve to see the details of the August Budget Amendment before it is approved. Please publish the full document.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Virtual School Partnership Lacks Details
The district is considering an agreement with Texas Tech for a K-12 virtual school. The terms are not public, raising questions about curriculum control, student data privacy, and the long-term cost to local taxpayers.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.D, what student data will be shared with Texas Tech and what parental oversight exists for the virtual curriculum? Please post the agreement online.’
💰 Impact: Potential Data Harvesting

Undisclosed Library Book Donations
The board is set to approve a donation of library books for the middle school without disclosing the titles or the donor. This bypasses public review and could introduce age-inappropriate or ideologically-driven materials into the school library.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.I, please provide the list of donated library books for public review before the board votes to accept them.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Review

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Vague ‘Service Contracts’ Need Scrutiny
The board will vote on unspecified ‘Service Contracts’ with Region 16. Without the contract text, taxpayers cannot know what services are being purchased, what the cost is, or if they include ideological training for staff.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.B, please publish the full text of the Region 16 Service Contracts online before the board votes.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
