📍 Drive to RAYMONDVILLE ISD Office   📅 Tuesday, September 8, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming RAYMONDVILLE ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
Public Comment Restricted to Agenda Items Only
📅 September 8, 2026
The board’s policy prohibits citizens from addressing topics that are not on the official agenda, stating ‘Only items on the agenda may be addressed’. This forces parents and taxpayers to go through the Superintendent for any new concerns, preventing the full board from hearing them in an open meeting and reducing accountability.
Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the board’s contact information. Urge them: ‘The public must be allowed to bring new issues to the board’s attention in a public forum. Please revise your public comment policy to allow discussion of non-agenda items.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Jargon Hides Required Public Performance Hearing
📅 September 8, 2026
The district is holding its legally required public hearing on its annual performance and financial report, but has titled it with an obscure legal citation (‘Texas Education Code §39.008’). This jargon makes it difficult for parents and taxpayers to understand that this is their key opportunity to discuss the district’s performance.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: This is the annual hearing on the district’s performance. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for a copy of the annual report being discussed under Item V *before* the meeting.

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Awareness
