School District Amending Corporate Tax Giveaway
The board is holding a public hearing and then voting on an amendment to a Chapter 313 agreement for CG Leon County II LLC. These deals give large corporations a decade-long discount on their school property taxes, forcing homeowners and small businesses to pay more to make up the difference.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: Show up on November 16th and sign up to speak at the public hearing for Item 1.a. Demand the board vote NO on Items 5.a and 5.b, which approve the amendment to this corporate tax giveaway.
💰 Impact: Corporate Welfare / Tax Shift

New ‘PREP’ Program Lacks Details
The board will vote on joining the ‘Preparing and Retaining Educators through Partnership’ (PREP) program. The agenda provides no details on this program’s costs, requirements, or any ideological strings that might be attached to the funding.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Leon ISD board before the vote on Item 5.d. Ask: ‘What are the full terms of the PREP allotment? Will accepting this money commit the district to specific curriculum, training, or data sharing requirements?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Mandates

Board to Vote on Property Tax Rate Cut
The board is scheduled to vote on amending the budget to reflect a lower Maintenance & Operations (M&O) property tax rate, reducing it from $0.6467 to $0.6167. This action directly reduces the tax rate for Leon ISD property owners.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for considering a tax rate cut in Item 5.f. Publicly supporting this move encourages fiscal responsibility and sets a positive example for other districts.
