📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming JUDSON ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 9)
District Eliminates DEI-Style Vendor Preferences from Contracts
📅 Scheduled Action
As part of its compliance with state law (SB 12), Judson ISD has removed scoring criteria that gave preference to ‘small, women, and minority owned business enterprises’ (SWMBE) from its purchasing and contracting policies. This action refocuses district spending on fiduciary duty and best value, not political agendas.
How to Secure It

Praise the Board for this concrete action during public comment for Item 7.A. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I strongly support the district’s decision to remove SWMBE scoring from contracts. This is a crucial step toward ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent on merit and best value, not politics. Please approve the SB 12 certification.’

✅ Why It Matters: Ends Political Contracting
Major Win (LEVEL 8)
Judson ISD Proposes Tax Rate Below No-New-Revenue Level
📅 Scheduled Action
The district is proposing a total tax rate of $0.9796, which is significantly lower than the newly calculated no-new-revenue rate of $1.044015. This means the district is not taking full advantage of rising property values to increase its levy, providing real relief to taxpayers.
How to Secure It

Show up to the meeting to thank the Board for adopting a tax rate below the no-new-revenue rate. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Thank you for proposing a tax rate of $0.9796, below the no-new-revenue rate. This is a responsible decision that respects taxpayers, and I urge you to approve Item 3.A.’

✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
