LTISD Monthly School Board Meeting
2023-12-13 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | LTISD Educational Development Center, 607 RR 620 N., Austin, TX, 78734, United States
In January 2023, We the People started a campaign to combat the sexually explicit books in the LTISD libraries. We started reading pages from various books in all grade levels every month. In response, the Board undertook a revision process of its book policy and parents started a challenge process of select books. This month at the November meeting, the book policy and a parent’s final grievance on 3 books were finally placed on the agenda.
The new book policy will be voted on next month. Please review the old and new policy at the link below and comment to the Board at leadership@ltisdschools.org. Linked below pages 80-96.
In addition, the parent at #9 of video presented to the entire Board. Her presentation was flawless. The Board voted in favor of the parent to move or remove the books and reversed the District with a vote of 5:2 on three books, with Lauren White and Phil Davis voting to retain the challenged books including Bodies Are Cool, Speak and I Never. You can find the links to the relevant content HERE.

Police State, produced by Dinesh D’Souza, outlines a story well familiar to those of us who have consumed information less curated by the emerging state:
domestic spying, no-knock early morning raids, government “partnership” with social media for censorship and narratives, demonization of disfavored political opinion and opinion-holders, government entrapment schemes, and plans for controlling money and social “credit”.
You can watch the trailer HERE, but we invite you to watch as a community and with us on December 4th at River in the Hills Church at 6:15pm sharp.

2023-11-13 18:30 - 20:00 | VFW Post 4443 Meeting Hall, 7614 Thomas Springs Road, Austin, Texas, 78736, United States
Join us this month as we learn about the 30×30 Land-Grab that the Biden Administration and many state-level figures are trying to implement on our soil. The 30×30 initiative is a radical green agenda forcing small farmers and ranchers off their lands causing the food crisis. Six days into his Administration, Biden initiated the international agenda to permanently protect 30 percent of the world’s land and oceans by 2030. Margaret Byfield is the Executive Director of American Stewards of Liberty (ASL), a non-profit organization working to protect private property rights and the liberties they secure. “We challenge the policies that seek to undermine American’s ability to produce the food, fiber, energy, and minerals our nation needs. We confront the radical environmental movement, which believes the administrative state, not individuals, should determine how people use their land.”
Speaker: Margaret Byfield

Margaret Byfield serves as the Executive Director of American Stewards of Liberty (ASL), and is a natural resource policy expert with over 30 years experience. Her education began on Pine Creek Ranch in Central Nevada where her family became one of the first Western landowners targeted by the radical environmental agenda resulting in the 27 year legal battle, Hage v. United States.
Byfield works directly with policy leaders at the local, State and Federal level helping to advance strategies that protect the production of America’s food, fiber, minerals and energy. She runs the national “Property Rights Task Force” and “Multiple-Use Alliance” that confront the agendas eroding property rights in America. She is a national speaker, writer and commentator on property rights issues.”
American Stewards of Liberty is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to protect property rights and the liberties they secure by defending the use of our land and restoring local control. ASL educates federal, state, and local officials and property owners, on federal actions that erode property rights, such as the 30×30 agenda, and identifies responses that bring these actions into alignment with full Constitutional protections of these rights. ASL is also the organizer of the premier property rights conference, the “Stop 30×30 Summit,” which will be held in Irving Texas this September.

Veterans Day Celebrations
2023-11-10 | VENUE: AMERICA
Nearly 18 million people will be honored at Veterans Day celebrations held Friday across the country and globe for a holiday that ties back to the end of World War I.
The date marks when Germany and the Allies signed a 1918 agreement to end war hostilities. Fighting ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. At the time, Nov. 11, 1918 was known as the end of “the war to end all wars,” according to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
In 1919, President Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day to celebrate and observe the end of hostilities with parades, public meetings and a “brief suspension of business beginning.”
“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory,” Wilson declared.
“Thank you for serving our country and protecting our freedoms. Today and every day we are grateful for your sacrifices”

He was commissioned in the Regular Army in 1976 after one year at VMI and four years at West Point. In 2004, Macgregor retired with the rank of Colonel. In 2020, the President appointed Macgregor to serve as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, a post he held until President Trump left office. He holds an MA in comparative politics and a Ph.D. in international relations from the University of Virginia.
Recently a guest of Tucker Carlson, his insights and expertise were revealed on a wide range of topics i.e.(military readiness, border security, monetary and economic policies, etc.). He’s despised by many inside the DC beltway from the left and even some on the establishment right, which clearly indicates he is over the target as a pundit for truth, freedom, and individual liberties.

Vote NO AGAIN on the LTISD "Gold-Plated" Sports Bond
2023-10-23 07:00 - 2023-11-07 19:00 | TX
Make plans to vote and encourage all your friends to get to the polls and Vote No. The hope is that a more responsible bond would pass and that the district would focus more on education and less on a building campaign. We realize as a group, some conservatives are conflicted and although you will make your own decision at the ballot box, one question will be asked of you… Out of all the corruption in government funded agencies, why do you believe our public school system and the bureaucracy involved in running them, somehow is different??!?
Please be part of the solution, not the problem!

LTISD 2023 Bond
Please start talking to your neighbors about our November election. Voter turnout will be very low. There will be no candidate races on the ballot. We must turnout and tell the District AGAIN to bring us a more fiscally responsible bond proposal.

LTISD Voters:
63% of Voters turned away the $93M Proposition C in the November 2022 election. The new Bond is $143M!!!

58% of eligible registered voters voted on the Propositions. We will need voters to turn out for the re-vote. At the December 2022 Board Meeting, the Board said they needed to “continue the education process” of voters. “They don’t understand…” “I’m pretty confident that 99% of the people that voted didn’t understand…” (Side bar: they had the same general reaction to the Lakeway City Council when they voted down the proposal to build the Sweetwater elementary in Lakeway – topic for a different day, but noted here as a potential habit.)
So the question to the voters for this vote: Were you ignorant when you turned away the $93,799,563 Proposition C which contained the $900K Baseball Concession Stand, $16M Cavalier Stadium Renovations, $1.4M LTHS Athletic Facilities Restroom Renovations, $1.2M Outdoor Golf Amenities, etc., etc.?
They think “we didn’t understand.”
Because THIS bond has $88.7M in EXACT same line items in it (description and $ allocation match 1 for 1).
Another $5.1M are same line items but the cost estimates are either included in the next additive category OR the estimates have gone up (e.g., Baseball Concession $900K in 2022 vs. Baseball Concession Stand and Restrooms and Press Box $1.034M in 2023).
And then $1.2M for Bee Cave Middle School turf, $46.3M more for HS#2 AND Bond Closing costs of ½ Million which they previously collected as part of Prop A in 2022.
Bond Summary: Proposition C $93.8M, plus an additional $1.78M on these items, Bee Cave Middle School turf $1.2M, more HS#2 add-ons of $46.3M and another $500K in Bond Closing Costs.
That’s the upcoming bond proposition. So what say you: Were you uninformed on Prop C and ready to give them a 53% increase in bond money and more tax liability? Or do you just say No and tell them they are the ones needing the education?
It’s OK to Vote No. We deserve a better bond and better fiscal management.
