Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SAN SABA ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |

Key Appointment to County Appraisal Board
The school board will appoint a representative to the San Saba Appraisal District Board of Directors. This single appointment has significant influence over property appraisals, which are the foundation of every local homeowner’s property tax bill.
Response
INFLUENCE THE APPOINTMENT: Contact the San Saba ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 9.C, I urge you to appoint a director to the Appraisal District Board who is committed to transparency, fairness, and protecting homeowners from inflated appraisals. Who are the candidates being considered?’
💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

|
‘Trauma-Informed’ Policy May Open Door to SEL
The board is considering a ‘Trauma-Informed Policy.’ While the title sounds benign, these policies are often used to introduce Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum and student mental health screenings that can fall outside the school’s core academic mission.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the San Saba ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 9.A, please publish the full text of the proposed ‘Trauma-Informed Policy’ online before the vote. Parents have a right to know if this policy introduces new curriculum or student data collection.’
💰 Impact: Mission Creep, Student Data Collection

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Budget Changes on Consent Agenda
The board plans to amend the district budget under the ‘Consent Agenda,’ which bundles items for a single vote without discussion. This process can be used to pass significant spending changes with minimal public transparency or debate.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the San Saba ISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘I request that Item 7.B, the budget amendment, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a separate, recorded vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being reallocated.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
