Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Convention Debrief
The board will discuss information gathered at the TASB/TASA convention. Taxpayer dollars were likely spent on travel and registration for this event, which is hosted by organizations that lobby the Legislature for higher taxes and against parental rights.
Response
ASK THE BOARD: During public comment, ask about Item 6.B: ‘How much in taxpayer funds was spent on travel, lodging, and registration for the TASB/TASA convention? What specific policies did you learn about that will benefit Overton taxpayers, not just the government bureaucracy?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying/Travel Costs

Vague Grant Applications with Potential Strings
The Superintendent is providing an update on several grant applications with unclear origins (SVPP, LASO, LIFT, R-Pep, JET). Federal and state grants often come with ideological strings attached or create new positions that local taxpayers must fund permanently after the grant money runs out.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office regarding Item 6.E.2 and ask: ‘What are the long-term requirements, data-sharing mandates, and future financial obligations for the SVPP, LASO, LIFT, R-Pep, and JET grants?’
💰 Impact: Future Unfunded Mandates
