Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming CHILTON ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
🚨 Alert (LEVEL 10)
Final Vote on Property Tax Rate Hike
📅 2026-08-31
The board is scheduled to vote on the final Maintenance & Operations (M&O) and Interest & Sinking (I&S) tax rates for the coming year. The agenda does not disclose the proposed rates or compare them to the no-new-revenue rate, preventing taxpayers from knowing if this is a tax hike until the meeting itself.
Response

PACK THE ROOM: This is the final vote that sets your school property tax bill. Contact the Chilton ISD board (see district website for contact info): ‘Post the proposed tax rate and the no-new-revenue rate worksheets online immediately. I urge you to adopt the no-new-revenue rate to protect taxpayers.’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

Approval of Undisclosed District Improvement Plan
📅 2026-08-31
The board will vote to approve the 2026-2027 District Improvement Plan, but the plan itself is not included in the public agenda. These documents can be used to introduce controversial, non-academic priorities like “equity” or “social-emotional learning” initiatives without adequate public review.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: The District Improvement Plan must be made public before the vote. Contact the Chilton ISD board (see district website for contact info): ‘Please post the full text of the proposed District Improvement Plan online so parents and taxpayers can review it before you vote on Item 11.’

💰 Impact: Mission Creep on Taxpayer Dime
