Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Vague Multi-Million Dollar Turf Purchase

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is voting on a “purchase over $50,000” for new turf at two high school athletic fields. The true cost, which could be in the millions, and the funding source are not disclosed in the agenda, preventing public scrutiny of this major expense.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda is vague on the true cost for new turf in Item 6.B. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the full contract and funding source be published before any vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed; likely >$1M

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague Title — Manual Review Required

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is reviewing District and Campus Improvement Plans under Item 7.A. These documents are often used to introduce non-academic initiatives like “Social-Emotional Learning” (SEL) or “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) that can politicize classrooms without direct parental notification.

Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the files for Item 7.A attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Search the District and Campus Improvement Plans for keywords like ‘equity,’ ‘social-emotional,’ ‘DEI,’ or ‘Panorama’ to see what new initiatives are being planned for your child’s school.

💰 Impact: Mission Creep, Politicized Classrooms
