⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Superintendent Pre-Screens Public Handouts

📅 September 9, 2026

The district’s public comment policy requires citizens to submit any handouts for review and approval by the Superintendent 24 hours in advance. This allows the administration to act as a gatekeeper, potentially censoring information before it reaches the board or the public.

Response

Contact the Zapata County ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Board Policy BED, the public should not need the Superintendent’s permission to distribute information at a public meeting. Please remove the 24-hour pre-approval requirement for handouts.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
