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

District to Send Local Property Taxes to Austin
The board will vote on an ‘Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit,’ which is the state’s ‘Robin Hood’ school finance plan in action. This means sending a significant, but undisclosed, amount of Broaddus property tax dollars to the state for redistribution, rather than spending them on local students.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Broaddus ISD Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 9.A, please state publicly the exact dollar amount of local property taxes being sent to the state under the Purchase of Attendance Credit agreement before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Amount Sent to State

Board to Discuss Property Sale in Secret
The board will enter a closed-door executive session to deliberate the sale of district-owned property. While legally permitted, this prevents taxpayers from hearing the discussion about the property’s value, the potential buyer, and the terms of the deal before a decision is made.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Broaddus ISD Board. ‘Regarding Item 10.B, taxpayers expect the full details of any proposed property sale—including the buyer, price, and terms—to be disclosed in open session before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Oversight
