Local Alert

📅 Monday, October 5, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SAN PERLITA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

ALERT (LEVEL 8)

Taxpayer Funds for Lobbying Convention

📅 October 5, 2026

The board will vote on sending a delegate to the TASA/TASB Convention. These organizations lobby the state legislature for policies that often lead to higher taxes and less local control, using your tax dollars to fund their efforts.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the San Perlita ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 6, I demand a roll-call vote. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for our district to participate in lobbying groups like TASA and TASB that work against parents and taxpayers in Austin.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague Software Contract Lacks Details

📅 October 5, 2026

The board is set to approve an agreement with ‘Ascender Enterprise’ for the entire school year without providing the contract or its cost to the public. This prevents taxpayers from seeing what they are buying and what student data might be shared.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the San Perlita ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 7, please publish the full contract and cost for the Ascender Enterprise agreement online before the vote. Taxpayers deserve to see the details before you approve it.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
