📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming GRAHAM ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Association Update
📅 October 14, 2026
The Board President will report on the TASA/TASB conference under Item V.2. These organizations use taxpayer money from member districts like Graham ISD to lobby the state legislature, often for policies that increase taxes and oppose parental rights.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Graham ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item V.2, please disclose the total cost for attending the TASA/TASB conference, including travel and dues. Taxpayers deserve to know how much of their money is funding lobbying groups that work against their interests.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 October 14, 2026
The board is set to approve the district’s monthly financial summary report as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote. This item, XII.2.B, lacks an attached document in the provided materials, preventing easy public review of district spending before the vote.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item XII.2.B attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm district spending. Contact the Graham ISD Board: ‘Please pull Item XII.2.B from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote and ensure financial reports are always publicly accessible well before the meeting.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
