Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LA FERIA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
District to Nominate Trustee to TASB Lobbying Board
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote on nominating one of its own members to the Board of Directors for the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is a taxpayer-funded organization that actively lobbies the Texas Legislature, often against property tax relief, parental rights, and educational freedom.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the La Feria ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). ‘Regarding Item VII.C, I urge you to vote NO on nominating a trustee to the TASB Board. Our district should not lend its name or resources to an organization that lobbies against taxpayer interests.’

Board to Approve Undisclosed List of Library Books
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is set to approve a list of new library books for purchase under the consent agenda. While the district states the list was posted for public review, the actual titles are not included in the agenda packet, preventing final public scrutiny before the vote.
Response

PULL FROM CONSENT: Contact the La Feria ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). ‘Regarding Consent Item VI.B, please pull this item for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. The public deserves to see the full list of proposed library books before you approve them.’

💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
