Local Alert

📅 Monday, October 12, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SIMMS ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

WARNING (LEVEL 7)

Requires Verification

Vague ‘Athletic Complex’ Plan Could Hide New Debt

📅 October 12, 2026

The board will vote on hiring a ‘Construction Manager at Risk’ (CMAR) for a new Athletic Complex after discussing it in a closed-door executive session. The agenda provides no details on the total project cost or how taxpayers will pay for it, opening the door for new debt to be issued without voter approval.

Response

Contact the Simms ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand transparency on Item 4. Ask: ‘Before voting on a CMAR for the Athletic Complex, please state the total project cost and confirm that any new debt will be put before the voters for approval.’
