⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
Tax Increase Hidden by Misleading Documents
📅 August 25, 2026
The school board is holding a public hearing and voting to adopt its 2026-2027 tax rate. While the proposed rate of $0.6692 is the same as last year, rising property values mean this is a tax increase that will take more money from homeowners. The district’s official ‘Taxpayer Impact Statement’ is highly misleading, showing ‘$0.00’ for the median homestead value and tax bill, completely hiding the real financial impact from the public.
Response

ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING: Show up at 5:15 PM on August 25th to speak. Demand the board explain the misleading ‘$0.00’ figures on the impact statement and adopt the no-new-revenue rate, which would lower the rate to offset rising property values. Contact the district to get board member emails.

💰 Impact: Higher tax bills due to a flat rate on rising property values.

Secret School Security Items on Agenda
📅 August 25, 2026
The board plans to consider items related to a ‘Safety and Security Audit Survey.’ However, the agenda fails to list what these items are, stating they will be ‘listed under “Extras”‘. This prevents the public from knowing what security or potential surveillance measures are being considered before the meeting, violating basic transparency.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Teague ISD Superintendent and board members. Ask: ‘What specific items under Agenda Item 12 will be discussed? Why were these not disclosed to the public on the posted agenda as required by the Open Meetings Act?’

💰 Impact: Lack of public oversight on security policies and spending.
