🚨 Alert (LEVEL 10)
Board to Vote on 2027 Property Tax Rate
📅 September 29, 2026
The school board is scheduled to adopt the property tax rate for the coming year. The agenda does not specify whether they are considering the no-new-revenue rate, which would prevent tax bills from rising on average, or a higher rate that would increase the tax burden on homeowners.
Response

PACK THE ROOM: Show up on September 29th and demand the board adopt the ‘no-new-revenue’ tax rate. Contact the board via the district website and ask: ‘Will you vote for the no-new-revenue rate to protect taxpayers from rising appraisals?’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

District to Issue New “Unlimited Tax” Bonds
📅 September 29, 2026
The board is voting to authorize the issuance and sale of “Unlimited Tax School Building Bonds.” While these bonds were likely approved by voters in a past election, this agenda item lacks the specific dollar amount, hiding the total debt burden from public view at this final stage.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The ‘Official Statement’ mentioned in this item contains the full details of the new debt. Contact the Prairiland ISD administration and demand this document be posted publicly before the board votes.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Debt Amount
