ALERT (LEVEL 8)
District Accelerates Plans for Major 2027 Bond Debt
📅 October 15, 2026
The board is taking multiple, concrete steps to launch a massive 2027 bond package that will raise property taxes for decades. Agenda items include discussing total debt capacity (10c), hiring an architect (11c), and delegating bond authority to the Superintendent (11d), potentially reducing public oversight. These foundational decisions are being made now, locking in costs before a final proposal is ever shown to voters.
Response

GET INVOLVED NOW: This is the critical planning stage for a major 2027 bond. Contact the Cumby Collegiate ISD Board before the October 15 meeting: ‘I urge you to maximize transparency in the 2027 bond planning process under items 10c, 10d, and 11. Please schedule dedicated town halls before hiring an architect or delegating authority.’

💰 Impact: Millions in New Debt
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Taxpayer-Funded Student Trip to Greece Proposed
📅 October 15, 2026
The board is set to approve international travel to Greece for a high school club for the summer of 2027. The agenda provides no information about the cost to the district or the source of funds for this trip.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before approving international travel, the board must disclose the cost to taxpayers. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 11b, what is the total district cost for the proposed student trip to Greece and how is this a responsible use of taxpayer funds?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Travel Costs
