Final Vote on 2026 Property Tax Rate
The Board will hold its final vote to set the property tax rate for the year. Any rate adopted above the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate constitutes a tax increase on existing property owners, even if the rate itself is lowered from last year.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: Show up Tuesday and sign up for public comment. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item VII.E, I urge you to protect homeowners and adopt the no-new-revenue tax rate.’
💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

Campus Plans Hidden on Consent Agenda

Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Item X.D from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. The public must be able to review these plans before you approve them.’

District to Finalize State Lobbying Agenda
The board will discuss its ‘Legislative Priorities’ for the 2027-2028 session. This is the district’s official lobbying wish-list that it will use taxpayer resources to advocate for in Austin, potentially against the interests of local taxpayers.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item II.D, please publish the proposed Legislative Priorities online before the meeting. Taxpayers deserve to know what you plan to lobby for in our name.’
