📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming COLLEGE STATION ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
District Policy Guided by Taxpayer-Funded Lobby Group
📅 November 16, 2026
The agenda’s legal notice references ‘TASB Policy BEC(LEGAL),’ confirming the district uses policy services from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobbying organization that often works against the interests of parents and taxpayers in the Texas Legislature.
Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to ask how much the district pays annually in dues and fees to TASB. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘How much taxpayer money does CSISD send to the TASB lobbying group each year? I urge you to withdraw from TASB and stop funding an organization that lobbies against taxpayer interests.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Mid-Day Meeting Limits Public Participation
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is holding a ‘Special Meeting’ at 11:00 a.m. on a Monday, a time when most parents and taxpayers are at work. This practice makes it difficult for the public to attend, observe, and participate in person, reducing direct accountability.
Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to get contact information for the Board of Trustees. Email the board: ‘Please schedule future meetings at times when working parents and taxpayers can attend, such as evenings. Holding meetings at 11:00 a.m. on a weekday limits public participation and transparency.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
