Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MILES ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Paying Lobby Group That Fights Taxpayers
📅 October 5, 2026
The board is set to approve a payment to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) for ‘Risk Management Insurance.’ While insurance is necessary, TASB is one of the most powerful lobby groups in Austin, often using taxpayer money from districts like this to fight against property tax relief and parental rights.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Miles ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 8, how much of our local tax money is sent to TASB, and what portion supports their lobbying against taxpayers? Please explore insurance options from providers that do not lobby against parents and taxpayers.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees
WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Undisclosed Budget Changes
📅 October 5, 2026
The board plans to vote on ‘Budget Amendments’ with no public documents explaining what money is being moved, where it’s coming from, or what it will be used for. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from seeing how their money is being reallocated mid-year.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Miles ISD board. ‘Before you vote on Item 7, please publish the proposed budget amendments online. Taxpayers deserve to see the details of any changes to the budget you are considering.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
