Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming NAVASOTA ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |

District to Discuss Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Agenda
The board will discuss the legislative priorities of the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA), a group that lobbies the legislature using taxpayer dollars. This often involves opposing property tax relief and parental rights initiatives, working against the interests of the taxpayers who fund the district.
Response
Contact the Navasota ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Discussion Item 4, please do not align our district with TASA’s legislative agenda. Our tax dollars should not be used to lobby against taxpayers’ own interests in Austin.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Undisclosed Curriculum Content Tied to Teacher Pay
The district plans to approve a stipend to pay teachers for implementing the ‘Bluebonnet Curriculum.’ The agenda provides no details on what this curriculum contains, preventing parents and taxpayers from reviewing the material their children will be taught before it is funded.
Response
Contact the Navasota ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Action Item 6, please postpone the vote on the Bluebonnet Curriculum stipend until the full curriculum is made available for public review. Parents have a right to see what is being taught.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum

Vague Grant Provider Contract Lacks Details
The board is set to approve an unnamed provider for the ‘Leadership and Instructional Foundations for Texas (LIFT)’ grant. Without the provider’s name or the contract details, taxpayers cannot know what services are being purchased or what long-term obligations might be attached.
Response
Contact the Navasota ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Before voting on Action Item 1, please publicly release the name of the proposed LIFT grant provider and the full contract. Taxpayers deserve to know who is being hired and what the terms are before approval.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
