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 4)
First Look at 2027-28 District Budget
📅 November 17, 2026
The board is holding its first workshop on the 2027-28 budget. This is the earliest opportunity for taxpayers to see the district’s spending priorities and assumptions before the budget is drafted and tax rates are proposed.
Response

MONITOR CLOSELY: Watch the livestream of the ‘2027-28 Budget Workshop’ (Item D.2). Contact the CSISD Board to demand they build the new budget based on the ‘no-new-revenue’ tax rate, not on last year’s spending.

💰 Impact: Future Property Tax Hikes
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Oversight Needed on 2024 Bond Spending
📅 November 17, 2026
The district will provide an update on the 2024 bond projects. While voters approved this debt, this is a key moment for taxpayers to ensure funds are being spent as promised, without the ‘project creep’ that leads to future tax hikes or another bond.
Response

DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Pay close attention to the ‘Update on 2024 Bond’ (Item D.3). Contact the CSISD Board to ask for a detailed, public-facing dashboard tracking all bond expenditures against the original budget promised to voters.

💰 Impact: Bond Project Cost Overruns
