Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming SILVERTON ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 8)
District Planning New Bond Debt for May 2027
📅 October 20, 2026
The board is beginning discussions for a bond election, which means taking on new long-term debt that will be paid by property taxpayers for decades. This is the earliest opportunity for citizens to influence the size and scope of the bond before it is finalized and placed on the ballot.
Response

GET INVOLVED EARLY: Attend the meeting to hear the initial bond discussion for Item 11. Contact the Silverton ISD board and ask to be included in any citizen advisory committees formed to shape the bond package.

💰 Impact: Future Property Tax Increases
WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Vague Budget Amendments Obscure New Spending
📅 October 20, 2026
The board plans to vote on unspecified ‘Budget Amendments’ without providing any supporting documents in the public agenda. This prevents taxpayers from seeing what money is being moved and for what purpose before the board approves the changes.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Silverton ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Please publish the full details of the proposed Budget Amendments under Item 6 online so taxpayers can review them before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
