Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CENTER POINT ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
| 🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9) |
|
Tax Rate Vote With No Details Published
The board is scheduled to hold a public hearing and then immediately vote to adopt the 2026-2027 property tax rate. However, the agenda fails to state the proposed rate, whether it exceeds the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, or what the impact will be on the average homeowner’s tax bill. This forces taxpayers to show up to the hearing just to learn the key numbers before a final vote is taken, limiting their ability to prepare and respond effectively.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: This is the final vote on your property tax bill. Show up for the Public Hearing at 6:00 PM. Contact the school board and demand they publish the proposed tax rate, the no-new-revenue rate, and the voter-approval rate online *before* the meeting. Ask them: ‘Are you voting for a tax increase?’ and demand a recorded vote on Item F.2.
💰 Impact: A potential property tax increase passed without residents knowing the exact rate until the moment of the vote.

Approving Health Committee Members in the Dark
The board is voting to approve the members of the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). This committee has significant influence over health curriculum, including sex education. The agenda does not list the names of the proposed committee members, preventing parents from vetting them to see if they represent the community’s values or an activist agenda.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the school board. Ask for the list of proposed SHAC members for Item F.3 to be published before the vote. Urge them to ensure the committee is majority-parent and reflects this community’s values, not outside political agendas.
💰 Impact: The potential adoption of controversial health and sex education curriculum without adequate parental oversight.

Vote on Student Discipline Rules Without Public Review
The board is set to approve the Student Code of Conduct for the upcoming school year. This document dictates discipline, dress code, and student rights, and can be a vehicle for introducing controversial policies like ‘restorative practices’. The proposed Code of Conduct document is not attached to the agenda, so the public cannot review what changes are being made before the vote.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Contact the school board and request that the proposed 2026-2027 Student Code of Conduct (Item F.6) be posted online for public review immediately. A vote should not happen on a secret document that affects every student and parent in the district.
💰 Impact: Loss of parental input on discipline policy; potential for new, controversial disciplinary standards to be implemented without public knowledge.
