Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming FABENS ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Tax Rate Vote With No Numbers Provided

📅 Vote Scheduled August 26, 2026

The Fabens ISD board is scheduled to hold a final vote to adopt the 2026-2027 property tax rate, which determines the school tax bill for every property owner. The agenda fails to disclose the proposed rate, the no-new-revenue rate, or the voter-approval rate. This prevents the public from analyzing the proposal and understanding if their total tax burden is increasing before the board makes its final decision.

Response

ATTEND THE MEETING: Show up on August 26th. During public comment, demand the board publicly state the proposed tax rate, the no-new-revenue rate, and the voter-approval rate. Ask for a clear explanation of how the new rate will change the total amount of money (the tax levy) the district collects from taxpayers.

💰 Impact: Potential tax levy increase passed without public scrutiny.
