Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SEALY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 9)
Tax Break for Corporation Shifts Burden to Homeowners
📅 September 30, 2026
The board is voting to amend a “Chapter 313” tax limitation agreement for Hailiang Copper Texas, Inc. These deals give large corporations a massive discount on their school property taxes for a decade, forcing homeowners and small businesses to make up the difference.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Sealy ISD Board (see district website for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 9, I demand a roll-call vote on the amendment to the Chapter 313 agreement with Hailiang Copper. Taxpayers deserve to know who is voting for corporate welfare at the expense of homeowners.’

💰 Impact: Shifting Tax Burden to Homeowners
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Board to Approve Increased Stadium Spending
📅 September 30, 2026
The board is being asked to approve an increase to the contingency fund for the stadium project. This indicates potential cost overruns that taxpayers will ultimately have to cover, without a clear explanation in the agenda for the increase.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Sealy ISD Board (see district website for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 6.D, why is an increased contingency needed for the stadium? Please provide a full accounting of the project’s budget and the reason for the cost increase before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Stadium Project Cost Overrun
