At 12:49 PM Central on May 18, 2026, Allen Independent School District (Allen ISD) transmitted a supplemental production to ALLENISD-PIA-002, a request LION filed on May 1, 2026 under the Texas Public Information Act (PIA) — Texas Government Code Chapter 552, which gives residents the right to request records held by Texas governmental bodies. The supplemental consisted of five PDFs (Q3-PT1 through Q3-PT5) totaling 495 pages, all responsive to question 3 of the request.
Question 3 of PIA-002 sought records relating to the trustee sub-committee that screened applicants to the Allen ISD Local School Library Advisory Council (LSLAC) — the parent-majority panel required under Texas Education Code §33.025, enacted by Senate Bill 13 (89th Legislature, 2025), which directs school boards to appoint a local council to review library materials.
The district’s first response to PIA-002 was transmitted on May 14, 2026 as a single 39-page PDF. The cover sheet for that response carried the line, “For the portion of the public information request highlighted below, there are no responsive documents,” followed by a list of questions that included question 3.
The May 18 transmittal from J. Renee Cunningham, Communications & Marketing Specialist for Allen ISD, stated in writing:
“Please note, responsive documents were received from various sources and the responsive items for question #3 of this request were erroneously not included with the submission. I incorporated the highlighted document question sheet but not the files. Attached please find the responsive documents for question #3.”

The five attachments break down as follows: PT1 (35 pages), PT2 (22 pages), PT3 (142 pages), PT4 (146 pages), and PT5 (150 pages). Page counts were verified locally against pdfinfo. PT3, PT4, and PT5 contain DRAFT, FINAL, and REVISED FINAL versions of the September 22, 2025 board book attachments tied to the LSLAC slate approval.
The supplemental more than doubled the production size for PIA-002, taking the combined output from 39 pages to 534 pages. It also produced records responsive to a question the district had characterized four days earlier as carrying no responsive documents.
Both the May 14 first response and the May 18 supplemental are preserved in the LION case file for PIA-002. Records corrections may be sent to corrections@lionwatchtx.org.
