Adopting Federal Wage Mandates for School Construction
The board is considering adopting a federal “General Decision” to set the minimum wage for construction and renovation projects. These federally-mandated wage rates often exceed local market rates, unnecessarily inflating the cost of new schools and renovations at the taxpayer’s expense.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board before the meeting. Ask for a fiscal analysis of how adopting General Decision No. TX20260288 will increase construction costs compared to using local market wages. ‘Regarding Item 7.B, taxpayers deserve to know the price tag of adopting federal wage mandates before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Inflated Construction Costs

Potential Hidden Spending on Consent Agenda
The “Consent Agenda” bundles multiple financial items, including check payments and budget amendments, into a single vote with no public discussion. This common tactic can be used to approve payments to taxpayer-funded lobbyists or controversial consultants without scrutiny.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Check Payment Registers’ and ‘Budget Amendments’ attachments on the official agenda (linked above). If you see payments to TASB, TML, or any political consultants, contact the board and demand Item 7.C be pulled for a separate discussion and a recorded vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
