Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming EDNA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
Board to Vote on Property Tax Levy
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote to approve the 2026 certified tax levy, which sets the total amount of property taxes the district will collect. The agenda does not disclose the proposed tax rate or whether it exceeds the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which would constitute a tax increase for property owners.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Edna ISD board before the meeting. Ask them to publicly state the proposed tax rate and compare it to the no-new-revenue rate before voting on Item V.B. Taxpayers deserve to know if their taxes are going up.

💰 Impact: Potential Property Tax Hike

Undisclosed ‘LIFT’ Program on Consent Agenda
📅 November 16, 2026
The board plans to approve the ‘LIFT (Leadership and Instructional Foundations for Texas)’ program as part of a bundled consent agenda vote. This external program could introduce new instructional models or data tracking with long-term costs, but no details are provided for public review before the vote.
Response

DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Contact the Edna ISD board and ask them to pull Item III.D from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what the ‘LIFT’ program is and what it will cost before it’s approved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Program Costs
