📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Adopting Policy from Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
📅 October 14, 2026
The school board is reviewing policy updates drafted by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). While routine, this uses taxpayer money to support TASB, a group that actively lobbies in Austin against property tax relief, school choice, and other taxpayer-friendly reforms.
Response

Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding the TASB Policy Update 127, I am concerned that our district pays this organization which lobbies against taxpayer interests. Please disclose the full annual cost of our TASB membership and explore policy service alternatives that do not use our tax dollars for political lobbying.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Vague Policy Change Hidden Behind Code
📅 October 14, 2026
The committee will discuss revising policy ‘BF(LOCAL),’ which typically governs Board Member Ethics, without providing the proposed text in the public agenda. This prevents taxpayers from understanding potential changes to conflict of interest or ethics rules before the meeting.
Response

Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding the ‘Suggested Revision of BF(LOCAL),’ please immediately post the full text of the proposed changes online. Taxpayers deserve to see what changes are being considered for Board Member Ethics before any discussion or vote.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency
