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

School Board Appointing to County Appraisal District
The school board is nominating members to the McCulloch County Appraisal District Board. These appointees have direct oversight of the property appraisal process that determines local property tax bills.
Response
GET INVOLVED: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 11.a, who is being nominated to the McCulloch County Appraisal District Board? We need appointees who will represent the interests of taxpayers and fight for fair appraisals.’

School Board to Appoint New Trustee, Bypassing Voters
The board will appoint a new member to fill a vacancy instead of holding a special election. This process places an unelected official in a position of power over school policy and taxpayer money without direct voter input.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 5, who are the candidates being considered for the board appointment, and what is the public process for their selection? An unelected official should not be chosen behind closed doors.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Voter Representation

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Undisclosed Budget Changes on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve unspecified ‘Budget Amendments’ as part of a bundled vote, with no details provided and no separate discussion. This process can be used to hide controversial spending reallocations from public scrutiny.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Consent Item 9.e, Budget Amendments, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being moved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
