📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming HIGHLAND PARK ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Secret Corporate Welfare Negotiations
📅 October 27, 2026
The board will enter a closed session to discuss offering ‘financial or other incentive to business prospects’ under TGC 551.086. This is the legal mechanism used to negotiate corporate welfare deals and tax abatements behind closed doors, shifting the tax burden onto homeowners without public input during the initial stages.
Response

Contact the HPISD Board of Trustees before the meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 4.I, any discussion of ‘economic incentives’ must lead to a full public hearing before a vote. Taxpayers oppose secret deals that shift the tax burden onto homeowners.’
