WARNING (LEVEL 6)

District to Discuss Financing with Non-Voter-Approved Debt Firm

📅 October 19, 2026

The board will discuss ‘financial opportunities’ with Government Capital, a firm that often facilitates lease-purchase agreements and other financing that does not require voter approval. This discussion, related to a ‘Data Center,’ could be the first step toward taking on significant debt without putting it on the ballot for taxpayers to decide.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Abernathy ISD board before the meeting (see district website for contact info). Ask: ‘Regarding Item IV, what is the nature of the ‘financial opportunities’ with Government Capital? Any plan to take on debt for a data center must be brought to the voters for approval, not arranged through lease-purchase schemes.’

💰 Impact: Potential Non-Voter-Approved Debt
