WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Considers Hiring Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is receiving information on using the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) for ‘Long Term Range Facility Planning Services.’ TASB is a registered lobby group that uses local tax dollars to oppose property tax relief and school choice in Austin.
Response

DEMAND A NEUTRAL VENDOR: Email the Ingram ISD Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item V.1, please do not use taxpayer money to hire TASB, a lobby group that works against taxpayer interests. Seek a neutral, professional firm for facility planning that has no political agenda.’

💰 Impact: Entanglement with Anti-Taxpayer Lobby
