📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming HART ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
District Hires Advisor for Future Debt
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is voting to hire Government Capital as a ‘bond financial advisor.’ This is often the first step a district takes before asking voters to approve new bond debt, which can lead to higher property taxes.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Hart ISD administration regarding Item IV.A: ‘What is the scope of this agreement with Government Capital? Is the district planning a new bond election, and what is the potential impact on property taxes?’

💰 Impact: Precursor to New Debt
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

New AI Guidelines for Students Undisclosed
📅 November 16, 2026
The district is presenting new guidelines for Artificial Intelligence, but the policy itself has not been made public with the agenda. Without seeing the policy, it’s unclear if it protects students from data mining and inappropriate content, or if it introduces new forms of surveillance.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Hart ISD administration regarding Item III.C: ‘Please make the proposed Artificial Intelligence Usage Guidelines public before the meeting. Parents need to know how student data will be protected and what tools our children will be using.’

💰 Impact: Potential Student Data Risks
