Fleet Lease Proposal Could Hide Long-Term Debt
The district is considering a fleet lease proposal from Enterprise. These types of agreements can function like long-term debt, committing taxpayer money for years without voter approval and often costing more than an outright purchase over time.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Pearsall ISD Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item VI.F, please provide the full terms of the Enterprise Fleet Lease Proposal, including the total cost over the life of the agreement and how this compares to purchasing vehicles outright. Taxpayers deserve to see the full financial impact.’
💰 Impact: Long-Term Debt Without Voter Approval

Undisclosed Major Vendor Contracts Up for Approval
The board plans to approve a list of vendors eligible for payments of $25,000 or more. The agenda does not disclose who these vendors are, preventing public scrutiny of potentially controversial contracts for lobbying, consulting, or ideological services before the vote.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Pearsall ISD Board. ‘Regarding Item VIII.C, the public has a right to know which vendors will receive over $25,000 in taxpayer funds. Please publish the full list of proposed vendors with a description of services before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
