Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming COVINGTON ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Vote on ‘Amended’ Property Tax Rate

📅 September 25, 2026

The board is holding a special meeting to vote on an ‘amended’ property tax rate for the 2026-2027 school year. The agenda does not disclose the proposed rate or compare it to the no-new-revenue rate, preventing taxpayers from knowing if their tax burden will increase before the meeting.

Response

SHOW UP & SPEAK UP: This is the final vote on your school property tax bill. Attend the meeting on September 25th to speak during public comment (Item 3). Demand the board adopt the no-new-revenue rate and vote NO on any tax hike in Item 4.A. Contact the Covington ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand they publish the proposed rate online before the vote.
