Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: BORGER ISD – Wednesday, September 9, 2026 [b23680aa]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Appointing Delegate to Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group

📅 2026-09-09

The board is appointing a delegate to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Delegate Assembly. TASB is a taxpayer-funded organization that actively lobbies the state legislature for policies that often lead to higher property taxes and reduced parental rights.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Borger ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand the item to appoint a TASB delegate be discussed separately. Taxpayers should not be forced to fund a lobby group that works against our interests. Please vote NO and end our membership in TASB.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Appointing Board for Tax Reinvestment Zone

📅 2026-09-09

The board is appointing members to a Tax Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) board. These zones capture future property tax growth to fund specific development projects, which can divert money from general services and shift the tax burden onto homeowners.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Borger ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the TIRZ board appointments, what specific projects will this zone fund and what is the projected impact on the tax base available for general school funding? Taxpayers deserve a full accounting before this moves forward.’

💰 Impact: Diverted Property Taxes
