WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Multiple Policy Changes Proposed Without Public Text
📅 October 27, 2026
The board plans to vote on three separate local policy updates—on Employment, Purchasing, and Construction—without providing the text of the proposed changes in the public agenda. This prevents taxpayers from reviewing the new rules for hiring, spending, and building before they are approved.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the West Sabine ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link) and insist that the full text for agenda items 9.H, 9.I, and 9.J be posted online for public review before any vote is taken. Policy should not be made in the dark.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Vague Budget Amendments Hide Spending Details
📅 October 27, 2026
The board is voting on ‘Budget Amendments’ with no supporting documents or details provided in the agenda. This practice obscures how taxpayer money is being reallocated mid-year, preventing public oversight of district spending.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the proposed budget amendments to be published online before the vote on Item 8. Taxpayers have a right to see where their money is going.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Shifts
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 7)
Board Demands Full Compliance with Bidding Laws
📅 October 27, 2026
The Board is taking action to formally direct the Superintendent to follow all legal requirements for competitive bidding on roof repairs. This move protects taxpayers from no-bid contracts and ensures the district gets the best value for its money.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Contact the West Sabine ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link) to thank them for demanding accountability and transparency in the purchasing process under Item 9.C. This sets a strong precedent for fiscal responsibility.
