Multiple Vague Board Policy Updates
The board is voting on updates to at least six local policies (EB, DBA, EEB, DEAA, DEC, DC). The agenda provides no details on what these changes are, which could affect everything from curriculum and employment to district operations, without public review of the new language.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Stafford MSD board. ‘Regarding Items 16, 17, and 18, please provide a summary of the proposed changes to local board policies for public review before the vote. The public deserves to know what is being changed.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

Vague ‘Strategic Staffing’ Agreement with University
The district is considering an agreement with the University of Houston for ‘Texas Strategic Staffing.’ Without the actual document, it’s unclear if this is a standard teacher pipeline program or a contract for consulting services that could introduce new hiring ideologies or costs.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Stafford MSD board. ‘Regarding Item 15, please publish the full MOU with the University of Houston for public review before the vote. What are the goals and costs of the ‘Strategic Staffing’ program?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Large Vendor Payments Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is approving all vendor payments over $50,000 in a single, bundled vote without individual discussion. This practice reduces transparency and prevents public scrutiny of who is receiving large amounts of taxpayer money.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Stafford MSD board. ‘I demand Item 22.C, Payments over $50,000, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know where our money is going.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency
