WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Who is the District Nominating to the County Appraisal Board?
📅 November 11, 2026
The board is nominating an individual to the Robertson County Appraisal Board, which plays a key role in setting property values for tax purposes. Taxpayers have a right to know who is being appointed to this powerful position and whether they will represent the interests of homeowners.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Franklin ISD Board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 5.B, who is the board nominating to the Robertson County Appraisal Board, and what is their public position on protecting homeowners from aggressive property value increases?’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Appraisals
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Undisclosed Land Purchase Discussed in Secret Session
📅 November 11, 2026
The Board will meet in a closed session to discuss a potential real estate purchase. While the law allows for private negotiation, taxpayers should be aware that a significant land deal may be underway without public input on the need or cost.
Response

PUT IT ON THE RECORD: Contact the Franklin ISD Board. Ask: ‘After the closed session for Item 6.B, will the board announce the general location and intended purpose of the property being considered for purchase, and commit to a public hearing before any funds are spent?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Land Deal
