📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming EAGLE PASS ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Local Governments Plan Joint Lobbying Agenda
📅 November 19, 2026
The school board is meeting with the city and county to coordinate their lobbying priorities for the 90th Texas Legislative Session. This often means using taxpayer money to lobby state lawmakers for policies that benefit the government bureaucracy, not the taxpayers, such as opposing property tax relief or appraisal reform.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Eagle Pass ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the Nov. 19 meeting. Ask them to publicly post the full list of ‘Legislative Priorities’ discussed in Item IV.1 and to commit to not using taxpayer funds to lobby against property tax relief.

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Vague ‘Other Issues’ Agenda Item
📅 November 19, 2026
Agenda item IV.2 allows for discussion of ‘any other possible issues’ without specifying what those issues are. This vague language prevents the public from knowing what will be discussed, effectively hiding potential policy debates from taxpayers until after they’ve happened.
Response

DEMAND SPECIFICITY: Contact the Eagle Pass ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask that all future agenda items, including Item IV.2, be described with enough detail for the public to understand what is being discussed and decided with their money.

💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
