Proposal to Waive Staff Development Minutes
The board is considering a “Staff Development Minutes Wavier.” This action would eliminate the official record of what is discussed and taught to teachers during development days, reducing transparency and accountability for the content presented.
Response
PROTECT THE PUBLIC RECORD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on the Staff Development Minutes Wavier. Parents and taxpayers have a right to a public record of what is being taught to our teachers.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

Mid-Year Budget Amendment Without Details
The agenda includes a vote on a “Budget Amendment” with no supporting documents or explanation. This common maneuver can be used to shift funds to unapproved projects or cover overspending, bypassing the public scrutiny of the original budget process.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before the vote on the Budget Amendment, please publish the full details of the proposed changes, including the source of funds and the specific expenditures.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Undisclosed Facilities Lease Agreement
The board is considering a “facilities lease from the Fort Worth Diocese” without providing the terms, cost, or duration of the agreement. This commits taxpayer funds to a potentially long-term obligation without public review of the financial details.
Response
DEMAND THE CONTRACT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the facilities lease, please publish the full proposed agreement for public review before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Long-Term Debt

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Public Hearing on Legal Compliance
The board is holding a public hearing on its “certification of compliance with certain laws” without specifying which laws. This lack of detail prevents taxpayers from knowing what the district is certifying and whether it impacts students, finances, or policy.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Public Hearing, please specify which laws the board is certifying compliance with and publish the relevant documentation before the meeting.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency
