Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WESLACO ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

ALERT (LEVEL 8)

Tax Dollars Sent to Austin Lobby Group

📅 October 19, 2026

Weslaco ISD is set to renew its membership with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), a powerful Austin-based lobby group. This means local property tax dollars are used to fund political lobbying that often works against property tax relief, parental rights, and educational freedom.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Weslaco ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for emails). ‘Regarding Consent Item 9.G.1, I demand this item be pulled for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see who supports sending our local tax dollars to an Austin lobby firm.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees
