Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming BUNA ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9)
Secret Negotiations for Corporate Tax Giveaway
📅 August 25, 2026
The school board is meeting in a closed-door executive session to discuss a potential ‘Chapter 313’ tax deal. These agreements provide massive, long-term property tax breaks to favored corporations, which can shift the tax burden onto homeowners and small businesses to make up for the lost revenue. This discussion about a ‘financial incentive to a business prospect’ is happening behind closed doors, away from public scrutiny.
Response

PACK THE ROOM for the Public Hearing (Item 7). Sign up to speak and tell the board: ‘Do not approve any Chapter 313 tax giveaways. These deals force homeowners to subsidize big corporations. Vote NO on any corporate welfare that comes out of your secret session.’

💰 Impact: Potentially millions in abated property taxes, increasing the burden on local taxpayers.
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
Final Vote to Set Your Property Tax Bill
📅 August 25, 2026
The board is holding a public hearing immediately followed by a final vote on the 2026-2027 property tax rate. This vote will determine the size of the school property tax bill for every homeowner and business in the district. Any rate adopted above the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate constitutes a tax increase.
Response

ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING (Item 7): This is your only official chance to speak directly to the board about your tax bill before they vote. Urge them to adopt the ‘No-New-Revenue’ tax rate to prevent a tax hike on Buna families and businesses.

💰 Impact: A tax rate above the no-new-revenue rate results in a direct tax hike for property owners.
