📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming HUCKABAY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Pays $7,725 to Lobbying Groups
📅 October 15, 2026
The check register, part of the Consent Agenda in Item 7, reveals payments of $7,225 to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and $500 to the Texas Association of Rural Schools. These organizations use local tax dollars to lobby the state legislature, often for policies that increase property taxes and reduce parental rights.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Huckabay ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘I demand the payments to TASB and the Texas Association of Rural Schools in Consent Agenda Item 7 be pulled for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Stop using our tax dollars to lobby against taxpayers.’

💰 Impact: $7,725 in Lobbying Dues
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 8)
District Earns ‘Superior’ Financial Rating
📅 October 15, 2026
Item 8 is a public hearing on the district’s Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) score. Attached documents show Huckabay ISD earned a 98 out of 100, an ‘A’ rating for ‘Superior Achievement,’ which indicates strong fiscal management and responsible use of taxpayer funds.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THE WIN: Attend the public hearing for Item 8 to thank the board and administration for their sound financial stewardship. This ‘A’ rating for Superior Achievement should be the standard for all Texas school districts.

✅ Why It Matters: Good Financial Stewardship
