Local Alert

📅 Monday, October 19, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming TROY ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

WARNING (LEVEL 6)

Report on Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Conference

📅 October 19, 2026

The board will receive a report on the TXEdCon conference, which is hosted by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). This means taxpayer dollars were likely spent on travel and attendance for an event run by an organization that lobbies the Legislature against parent and taxpayer interests.

Response

ASK THE BOARD: During Open Forum, or by contacting the District Office, ask how much was spent on the TXEdCon conference under Item 4.c and what value Troy taxpayers received. Ask the board to reconsider its membership in TASB.

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Change on Consent Agenda

📅 October 19, 2026

The board plans to approve a ‘Budget Amendment’ as part of the consent agenda, a bundle of items passed with a single vote and no discussion. This process can be used to pass significant spending changes without public scrutiny.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Troy ISD board and demand that Item 6.d, the Budget Amendment, be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what is being changed in the budget before it’s approved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
