Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LEON ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Lobby Group Driving Local School Policy
📅 October 12, 2026
The board is considering adopting policy changes recommended by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobbying organization that often works against property tax relief and parental rights at the state legislature.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Leon ISD board (contact info on the district website). ‘Regarding Item 4.a, please reject policy updates from TASB, a lobby group that works against taxpayer interests. The board should develop its own policies, not adopt them from Austin lobbyists. I request a roll-call vote on this item.’

💰 Impact: Policy Driven by Lobbyists
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Sheriff’s Office Role in Public Records
📅 October 12, 2026
The district is considering an agreement to have the Leon County Sheriff’s Office assist with compiling public information requests. This is highly unusual and could create delays or a chilling effect for citizens seeking public records under the Texas Public Information Act.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Leon ISD board (contact info on the district website). ‘Regarding Item 4.c, please publish the full text of the MOU online before the vote. Why is the Sheriff’s office involved in the civil process of public information requests? This must not become a barrier to transparency.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
