ALERT (LEVEL 10)
District to Consider Issuing Debt Without Voter Approval
📅 October 26, 2026
The board will vote on issuing Certificates of Obligation (COs), a form of debt that does not require voter approval. This allows the district to borrow money for projects while bypassing the accountability of a bond election, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill without a direct say.
Response

PACK THE ROOM: Show up Monday, October 26th and sign up for public comment. Contact the Paradise ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Certificates of Obligation exist to dodge the voters. Put this debt on the ballot or vote NO on Item 9.C.’

💰 Impact: Debt Without Voter Approval

Vague ‘Good Clause Exemption’ Vote Hides Details
📅 October 26, 2026
The board is scheduled to vote on an item titled ‘the good clause exemption’ with no further explanation or attached documents. This lack of transparency prevents the public from understanding what policy is being changed or what rights or requirements are being waived.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Paradise ISD administration before the meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask for the full text and a plain-English explanation of Item 9.D, ‘the good clause exemption,’ to be posted online before any vote is taken.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Change
