Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming STAMFORD ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Requires Verification

Budget Amendments Hidden on Consent Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to pass two budget amendments—one for the district and one for the Tri County Educational Coop—as part of the “Consent Agenda,” a bundled vote that discourages discussion. The amounts and purposes of these amendments are not disclosed on the agenda, preventing public scrutiny of new spending.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and demand: ‘Pull Items VII.B and VII.C from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know the details of any budget amendment before it is approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

Student Data ‘Dashboards’ Presented to Board

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is reviewing unspecified “Dashboards” under administrative reports. These tools can be used to track student data, sometimes without clear parental consent or opt-out policies, and can be a precursor to hiring ideological consultants.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Item VI.C, please provide the public with a copy of the “Dashboards” presentation. What student data is being tracked, and what are the district’s policies on sharing this data with third-party vendors?’

💰 Impact: Potential Student Data Mining
