Explanation:

Special purpose districts are often also called hidden government systems as the action and duties or responsibilities of various officials and stakeholders is not clear for scrutiny by media. Also, in Texas there are over 1,100 educational special districts as such districts usually focus on only one special service. The lack of transparency makes it harder for the authorities to understand the internal bureaucratic system and therefore, they are considered democratic in theory but often not in practice.
