Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LUBBOCK ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
District to Set State Lobbying Agenda
The board will discuss and approve its ‘Legislative Priorities,’ which is the list of policies they will ask state lawmakers to pass or oppose. This is a form of taxpayer-funded lobbying, often used to advocate for higher spending and against taxpayer protections at the state capitol.
Response
Contact the Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). ‘Regarding Item V, Legislative Priorities, I demand that the board’s platform supports, not opposes, property tax relief, spending transparency, and parental rights. Taxpayer money should not be used to lobby against taxpayers.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Potential Vote After Secret Deliberations
Under item IX.A, the board may vote on expensive or controversial items, such as land purchases or legal settlements, immediately after discussing them in a closed-door executive session. This practice limits public awareness and input on decisions that have major financial or policy implications.
Response
WATCH THIS VOTE: Contact the Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Before any vote on Item IX.A, the public deserves a full explanation of the action and its cost. Do not vote on major decisions without public deliberation.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Financial/Policy Changes
