Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: WINK-LOVING ISD – Monday, September 28, 2026 [7a948d72]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming WINK-LOVING ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9)

Vote on 2026-2027 Property Tax Rate

📅 September 28, 2026

The board will vote to set the property tax rate for the upcoming year under Item 3.c. The agenda does not specify the proposed rate, preventing taxpayers from knowing in advance if this constitutes a tax increase above the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which would raise the levy on homeowners.

Response

DEMAND A NO-NEW-REVENUE RATE: Show up to the meeting and demand the board adopt the no-new-revenue tax rate for Item 3.c. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Will the board commit to adopting the no-new-revenue rate and prevent a tax hike on homeowners?’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Vague ‘Bond Sale’ Details

📅 September 28, 2026

The board is set to approve information related to a 2026 bond sale. Without the specific terms of the sale being published with the agenda, taxpayers cannot verify the interest rates, total repayment cost, or other long-term financial risks associated with this new debt.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before the vote on Item 3.b, the board must present the full ‘Bond Sale Info’ to the public. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What are the interest rates, total repayment cost, and terms for the 2026 bond sale?’

💰 Impact: New Long-Term Debt
