The December 11, 2013 agenda for the Ysleta Independent School District (YISD) tells us a lot.
The consent portion lists 15 items for consideration. Included are millions of dollars of spending. As usual, the material does not tell the public anything about who the contracts will be awarded to.
The agenda contains this jewel ” (5 minutes maximum for all items, inclusive)”.
If these items are really universally supported by the board members the whole thing should about 30 seconds. We understand that.
My problem with this is the lack of discussion about what is being done, why it is being done, and how they are doing it.
YISD’s published core belief number 7 is: “Except where prohibited by law, the entire District system should be transparent”.
It seems like staff has control over the board.
We deserve better
