Potential Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying via Rural School Association
The board is considering a resolution related to the Texas Association of Rural Schools (TARS). TARS is an organization that lobbies the state legislature, often for policies that increase spending and taxes, using local taxpayer dollars to do so.
Response
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND A VOTE: The agenda does not include the text of the ‘TARS Resolution.’ Contact the district to demand the resolution be posted online before the meeting. Email the board: ‘Regarding Item 6.C, taxpayers should not be forced to fund lobbying against their own interests. Please vote NO on any resolution that sends our local tax dollars to the Texas Association of Rural Schools.’

Vague ‘Parent Handbook’ Board Training
The board is discussing a recent training they received concerning a ‘TEA Parent Handbook.’ The source and content of this training are not disclosed, leaving it unclear whether it reinforces or seeks to undermine parental rights.
Response
ASK FOR TRANSPARENCY: Email the board regarding Item 6.E: ‘Who provided the recent board training on the TEA Parent Handbook, and can the training materials be made public? Parents deserve to know what is influencing board policy.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Training Content

District Saves Money by Cancelling Unopposed Election
The board is set to cancel an election where candidates are running unopposed. This is a common-sense measure that saves significant taxpayer money on election administration costs.
How to Secure It
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up to thank the board for taking the common-sense, fiscally responsible step of cancelling the unopposed election under Item 6.D. This saves taxpayer money and should be standard practice across Texas.
