Adopting Policy Updates from Lobbying Group TASB
📅 September 28, 2026
The board is voting to adopt “Update 127” from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), a taxpayer-funded lobbying group. These updates can embed policies that weaken local control or reduce transparency under the guise of a routine update, without public review of the specific text.
Response

INVESTIGATE & DEMAND A VOTE ON EACH POLICY: Contact the District Office and demand that the full text of TASB’s ‘Update 127’ be posted online. Email the board: ‘Do not rubber-stamp policies from a lobbyist group. I request that each policy in Item 5.C be discussed and voted on separately, not as a single block.’

💰 Impact: Lobbyist-Crafted Policies
