📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MEXIA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Promoting Conference from Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
📅 October 20, 2026
A trustee will report on the txEDCON 2026 conference, which is the major convention for the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB uses taxpayer money from member districts like Mexia ISD to lobby the state legislature for higher taxes and against parental rights and educational freedom.
Response

QUESTION THE ROI: Contact the Mexia ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 6.C, what specific value did the TASB conference provide to Mexia taxpayers? We are concerned that our district’s dues are funding a political lobby that works against our interests in Austin.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Vague Budget Transfer Hides Spending Priorities
📅 October 20, 2026
The board plans to approve a budget amendment moving an undisclosed amount of money from ‘Function 11’ (Instruction) to ‘Function 53’ (IT) and ‘Function 41’ (HR). Without details, taxpayers cannot know if this shifts resources away from the classroom for administrative or technology bloat.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Mexia ISD Board before the meeting (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 5.A, what is the dollar amount of the budget amendment, and what specific new expenses in IT and HR require taking funds from Instruction? Please provide a detailed breakdown before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
