Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming HEDLEY ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Public Hearing on Property Tax Rate

📅 2026-08-27

The board is holding a public hearing to discuss and likely set the new property tax rate. This is the most critical meeting for taxpayers to voice their opinion before the board votes on a potential tax increase.

Response

ATTEND THE HEARING: This is the official public hearing on your property tax bill. Show up to demand the board adopt the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which prevents tax increases driven by rising property values. Contact the Hedley ISD administration to find board member contact information.

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Proposed Budget Presentation by External Speakers

📅 2026-08-27

The board will discuss the proposed budget for the upcoming year, with a presentation from external finance speakers. This budget directly determines the amount of property taxes the district will need to collect from homeowners and is the justification for any tax rate increase.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before the meeting, ask the district to post the full proposed budget online. Contact the board: ‘Please provide a line-item budget and explain all new spending before you discuss the tax rate. Taxpayers deserve to see where our money is going.’

💰 Impact: Increased Spending
