WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Considers Eliminating Early-Payment Tax Discount
📅 November 18, 2026
The board will vote on a resolution to repeal the existing discount for property owners who pay their taxes early. This change would effectively increase the total tax bill for responsible taxpayers who pay ahead of schedule, punishing fiscal prudence.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the La Pryor ISD Board (see district website for contact info) before the meeting. Urge them to vote NO on Item 5: ‘Please vote NO on repealing the early payment tax discount. Don’t punish responsible taxpayers who pay their bills on time.’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Tax Burden

Vague ‘Turnaround Plan’ Lacks Public Details
📅 November 18, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve a ‘Turnaround Plan’ for the secondary school without providing the actual plan in the public agenda. These plans can involve hiring expensive outside consultants or implementing new programs with undisclosed costs and policy changes, all hidden from public view until after the vote.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office before the meeting regarding Item 9. Ask that the full ‘Turnaround Plan’ be posted online for public review immediately, and that the vote be postponed until taxpayers have had time to see what’s in it.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Costs
