Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WEIMAR ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Dues Hidden in Bill Payments
The district’s ‘Bills Paid’ report, buried in the consent agenda, includes over $11,000 in service fees and membership dues to organizations like the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA). These groups lobby the Texas Legislature for higher taxes and policies that undermine parental rights and local control.
Response
Email the Weimar ISD Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand the payments to TASB, TASA, TASBO, and other lobbying associations under ‘Bills Paid’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. Stop using our tax dollars to lobby against us.’
💰 Impact: $11,314 in Dues & Fees

District Spending on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Vendor
The check register reveals payments totaling $4,998 to ‘Character Strong,’ a prominent Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum provider. SEL programs can shift classroom focus from academic fundamentals to subjective, values-based instruction, often without full parental transparency or review.
Response
Email the Weimar ISD Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the ‘Bills Paid’ on the Consent Agenda, I request a public discussion on the payments to ‘Character Strong.’ What is the school’s policy on SEL, and how can parents review this curriculum and opt their children out?’
💰 Impact: $4,998 for SEL Curriculum
