District Leadership Reports on TASB Lobbying Group Activities
The Board President’s report includes an update on activities with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobbying group that frequently opposes legislative reforms for property tax relief, parental rights, and educational transparency.
Response
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Northwest ISD Board. ‘Regarding Item XII.B, how much in taxpayer money does NISD pay annually in dues to TASB? Why does the district fund an organization that lobbies against property tax relief and parental rights?’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Undisclosed Budget Amendments on Consent Agenda
The board is voting on unspecified amendments to the current operating budget as part of a bundled ‘consent agenda,’ which passes multiple items with a single vote. This process can obscure significant spending changes from public view and accountability.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Northwest ISD Board. ‘I request that Item VIII.B, Amendments to the 2026-2027 Operating Budget, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being reallocated.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Campus Improvement Plans Lack Public Detail
The board will vote to approve the Campus Improvement Plans for the current school year. These plans often contain details about curriculum and student programs that can include controversial elements like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI, but the plans themselves have not been made public with the agenda.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Northwest ISD administration and ask for the full text of the 2026-2027 Campus Improvement Plans under Item X.B before the board votes. Taxpayers have a right to see what new programs are being implemented in their schools.
💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms
