Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming FORT BEND ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Citizen Bond Committee Appointments
📅 October 5, 2026
The Board is appointing members to the 2026 Bond Advisory Committee, which will shape a future bond package that could lead to higher property taxes. While citizen committees are a good step, it’s critical that this group includes fiscally conservative voices to scrutinize proposed projects and prevent wasteful spending.
Response

MONITOR AND ENGAGE: Review the list of appointees to the Bond Advisory Committee (BAC). Attend the committee’s future public meetings to ensure proposed projects are necessary and fiscally responsible before they are bundled into a final bond package for voters.

District Provides Detailed Report on Bond Spending
📅 October 5, 2026
The district is presenting a detailed overview of projects and finances for the voter-approved 2023 Bond. This report shows taxpayers exactly how their money is being used for campus renovations, technology upgrades, and security improvements, which is a positive step for transparency and accountability.
How to Lock It In

ACKNOWLEDGE GOOD GOVERNANCE: This is what accountability looks like. Consider sending a brief email to the Board thanking them for the detailed public update on Bond 2023 spending and encouraging them to continue this level of transparency for all major projects. Contact information can be found on the district’s website.
