📍 Drive to WILDORADO ISD Office   📅 Monday, November 16, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WILDORADO ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Special Tax Break for One Delinquent Property
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is considering forgiving the penalties and interest on delinquent property taxes for a single, specific property (Item 7.C). This amounts to a special favor that forces all other taxpayers who paid their bills on time to effectively subsidize one who did not.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Wildorado ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask: ‘Regarding Item 7.C, why should one property owner receive a special waiver for unpaid taxes while everyone else has to pay on time or face penalties?’

💰 Impact: Unequal Tax Burden
WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Review of Gifted & Talented Policy Manual Required
📅 November 16, 2026
The board is voting on an updated Gifted and Talented (GT) policy and procedures manual under Item 7.B. Without the document being made public before the vote, parents cannot verify if the district is changing admissions criteria to focus on ‘equity’ over academic merit, potentially watering down advanced programs.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the proposed ‘Gifted and Talented Policy and Procedures Manual’ for public review. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the document for Item 7.B be posted online before the vote so parents can see what’s changing.

💰 Impact: Politicized Admissions Criteria
