LTISD Info

Thanks to a recent Texas Public Information Act request from Tracy Henry, President of the Lake Travis Education Foundation (LTEF), I too have obtained a list of the district’s vendors for everyone to see.

This could be interesting reading. Let me know if you find out anything that might be of interest to other readers of this web site.

You can obtain the list of the LTISD’s vendors^TPIA by year in Adobe Acrobat™ format (PDF), HTML page or a consolidated Microsoft Excel™ spreadsheet from these links:

One might guess that Tracy wanted this list so as to “shake down” the LTISD’s vendors for a donation to the LTEF?

Perhaps there is some sort of implied tax due from those who do business with the district?

Just a little bit of  interesting information made available from the fiscal year 2008-2010 LTISD vendor list :

The district has done $403,462.23 of business with Chick-Fil-A from fiscal years 2008-2010. Does Alan Williams still refuse to publicly state that he has not conflict of interest? If so, why?

The district has paid Population Survey Analysts (the district’s demographers) $97,410.

So much for Susan Bohn saving the district on their legal expenses! The LTISD paid at least $653,198.43 in legal bills in just 3 years! I have not parsed the list to find all the lawyers and law firms that have been paid during this time frame, but there are more hidden in these lists.

All this and the LTISD has the audacity to ask us to pay more taxes in tribute to their mediocrity and inability to contain costs!
