🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Public Comment Time Slashed to Two Minutes
📅 2026-09-03
The board’s policy limits public comment to two minutes per person per meeting. This restrictive time limit prevents parents and taxpayers from presenting detailed information or fully expressing their concerns on important district issues.
Response

Contact the Queen City ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Two minutes is not enough time for meaningful public input. Please extend the public comment period to allow for more thorough community feedback on important issues.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 2026-09-03
The board is voting to extend a contract for unspecified ‘contracted services’ with an individual named Yolanda Hawkins. The cost, duration, and scope of these services are hidden in an attachment, preventing public scrutiny of the expense.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to determine the cost and scope of the contract extension for Yolanda Hawkins. Taxpayers deserve to know what services they are funding.
