Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying via TASB Convention
The board is selecting delegates for the TASB/TASA convention, using district resources to participate in a political lobbying organization. The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) actively lobbies the state legislature for policies that often lead to higher property taxes and work against parental rights and educational freedom.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item VIII.C, taxpayers should not be forced to fund political lobbying. I demand a roll-call vote so we can see which board members support sending our money to TASB.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees
