Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming TEAGUE ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 9)
District Hires Consultant for Corporate Tax Giveaway
📅 November 17, 2026
The board is considering hiring CG Strategies, LLC to help process an application for a ‘limitation on appraised value’ under the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation Act (JETI). This is a corporate welfare program where the district gives a massive tax break to a large company, forcing homeowners and small businesses to shoulder more of the tax burden.
Response

PACK THE ROOM: Show up Tuesday and sign up to speak on Item 13. Contact the Teague ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and tell them: ‘Vote NO on hiring consultants for corporate welfare. The JETI program shifts the tax burden from corporations to homeowners.’

💰 Impact: Corporate Tax Giveaway

State Grant May Add Hidden Strings
📅 November 17, 2026
The district is considering applying for the ‘LASO Cycle 5 Grant’ to develop a local accountability system. While local control can be good, these state grants often come with undisclosed mandates for data collection or specific performance metrics that may not align with community values.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Teague ISD board regarding Item 12. Ask them to publish the full grant application and explain what new data will be collected on students and what long-term obligations are attached before they vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed State Mandates
