📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming S AND S CISD agenda. There are 4 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
Requires Verification

Vague Library Book Policy Change
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is scheduled to approve changes to policy ‘EFB Local for Instructional Resources Library Materials.’ These policies dictate how books and other materials are selected and challenged, directly impacting what students are exposed to. The proposed policy text was not attached to the agenda, preventing parental review before the vote.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Item X.E proposes changes to the district’s library book policy. Contact the District Office: ‘Please post the full text of the proposed EFB Local policy online immediately so parents can review it before the board votes.’

💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Review
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)
Altering Public Records from 2025
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is voting to approve “amended minutes” from a meeting held over a year ago, in August 2025. Altering the public record so long after a meeting raises serious transparency questions about what is being changed and why.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board regarding Item X.A: ‘Why are minutes from August 2025 being amended now? Please provide a red-lined version showing all changes before the vote so the public understands what is being altered in the official record.’

💰 Impact: Altering Public Record
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Spending on Consent Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The board plans to approve the monthly bills and financial reports on the consent agenda, meaning no public discussion is required. The attachments detailing this spending were not included in the provided documents, preventing taxpayer review before the vote.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the files for Items VIII.B and VIII.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for payments to political consultants or lobbying groups. Demand any large or questionable payments be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 7)
District Paid Down Debt Early
📅 Scheduled Action
In their August 24, 2026 meeting, the board unanimously voted to “defray and redeem outstanding bonds.” Paying off debt ahead of schedule is a fiscally responsible move that saves taxpayers money on future interest payments and reduces the overall debt burden.
How to Secure It

AMPLIFY THE WIN: At the public forum, thank the board for their fiscally responsible decision in August to pay down district debt early. This encourages good behavior and sets a positive standard for the region.

✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
