📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming QUEEN CITY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Vote on 2026 Tax Levy Without Prior Disclosure
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is scheduled to vote on the final 2026 tax roll and levy under Action Item 8. However, the agenda states the resolution and levy ‘will be presented at the meeting,’ denying taxpayers a chance to review the final numbers beforehand. This lack of transparency prevents residents from knowing the full impact on their property tax bills before the board takes action.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Queen City ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Post the proposed tax levy online before the meeting. Taxpayers deserve to see the numbers before you vote on Item 8.’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Promotes Taxpayer-Funded Lobbyist Event
📅 October 19, 2026
Under Item 11, the board is circulating announcements for the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), including its ‘Governance Camp.’ TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobbying organization that frequently opposes legislative reforms aimed at increasing transparency, empowering parents, and controlling property taxes. Promoting their events signals an ongoing financial relationship funded by local taxpayers.
Response

QUESTION THE PARTNERSHIP: Contact the Queen City ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 11, how much in taxpayer funds does QCISD spend annually on TASB dues and events? We should not be funding an organization that lobbies against taxpayer interests in Austin.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
