Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming ANNA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 9)
Approving $54 Million Tax Levy Without Rate Details
📅 October 19, 2026
The board will vote to approve a projected tax levy of $54,084,683.05. The agenda provides the total dollar amount but fails to state the proposed tax rate or clarify if this represents an increase over the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, hiding the true impact on homeowners’ property tax bills.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Anna ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 13, what is the proposed tax rate, and how does it compare to the no-new-revenue rate? Taxpayers deserve to know the full impact before you approve a $54 million levy.’

💰 Impact: $54M Levy / Higher Property Taxes
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Requires Verification

Bundled Policy Changes Hidden in Consent Agenda
📅 October 19, 2026
The board plans to approve ‘Update 127,’ a package of local policy changes, as part of the consent agenda. This bundles potentially significant changes into a single vote with no public discussion, and the specific policies are only listed in an attachment.
Response

INVESTIGATE & DEMAND A VOTE: Open the file for ‘Item 10.F’ in the official agenda linked above to see the policies. Contact the board: ‘Pull Consent Item 10.F for separate discussion and a recorded vote. The public deserves to understand these policy changes before they are approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
