⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
Secret Negotiations for Corporate Tax Giveaway
📅 August 28, 2026
The school board is meeting in a closed-door executive session to discuss giving a “financial incentive” to a business under Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code. This is a controversial corporate welfare program where the school district gives a massive property tax break to a large corporation, forcing homeowners and small businesses to shoulder more of the tax burden. These deals are negotiated in secret before the public is ever aware.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Buna ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Regarding Item 8.A.2, taxpayers deserve to know which company is seeking a Chapter 313 tax break and how much it will cost our community. Stop negotiating corporate welfare deals behind closed doors and hold all discussions on this topic in public.’

💰 Impact: Potentially millions in abated property taxes, shifted to local taxpayers.
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Undisclosed Budget Changes on the Agenda
📅 August 28, 2026
The board is scheduled to vote on “Budget Amendments” under New Business (Item 6.A), but the agenda provides no details, attachments, or explanation of what is being changed or how much money is involved. This lack of transparency prevents the public from understanding how their tax dollars are being reallocated before a vote is taken.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Buna ISD Board of Trustees. ‘Before you vote on Item 6.A, Budget Amendments, please post the full details of these changes online for public review. Taxpayers have a right to see exactly what is being amended in the budget.’

💰 Impact: Unknown financial changes made without public scrutiny.
