IC ISD Board April 19 2026

Agenda Analysis | Meeting Review | Meeting Documents | Commentary | Last Meeting

This blog, GovernmentintheSun, got its start 3 years ago in March as a protest against the closure of 4th Street and alley, shown here in red arrows, for the construction of the IC ISD gymnasium. The gym, along with the earlier construction of the tennis courts in the upper left, have created an inverse condemnation of my 1910 home by stormwater running off the impervious cover on campus. My relationship with the District has improved dramatically with their recent efforts using 2024 bond funds to control the flooding. It's not all about me, though. The same stormwater that floods me also floods City Park and the District's football stadium just a few blocks away, so the District has come to better understand its own interests in managing stormwater. Stormwater management is a community issue.

A. Agenda Analysis

1. Closed session, interviews, item 3 a: At its last meeting the Board evaluated the applications for the superintendent position. It is probable that this meeting is for the first interview of the candidates. If at least one of the interviews goes well, another meeting will be scheduled (next week?) to do a final interview of the lone finalist and their family.

C. Commentary

1. New reader disclaimer: I don't advertise on this site, and to date haven't earned a penny from it. Though I am a licensed lawyer, I am not practicing so nothing here is used as an advertisement for a law firm. I don't promote it on social media because social media tends to draw the extremist crowds. What started out as a protest site is turning into an experiment in civics. I consider being only critical of government not productive. Being critical is easy, and it does have its place. I find it more challenging, and interesting, to push back and work with it at the same time. The 1st Amendment is an absolutely amazing tool to do just that. So, don't mistake this as a muckraking journal. It is way more than that.
