Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming KRUM ISD agenda. There are 3 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 with No Details Provided
📅 2026-09-09
The board will hold its final, binding vote to adopt the 2026-2027 property tax rate. The agenda fails to state the proposed rate or how it compares 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 on your property tax bill. Show up for Item 17 and demand the board adopt the no-new-revenue rate. Contact the Krum ISD board: ‘What is the proposed tax rate and how does it compare to the no-new-revenue rate? Vote NO on any rate that increases the burden on Krum families.’

💰 Impact: Potential Property Tax Hike

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Krum ISD administration regarding Item 14. Ask for confirmation that the $89.7M expenditure is fully funded by voter-approved bonds and does not represent a cost overrun or new debt.

Undisclosed Consultant Contract with MGT Impact Solutions
📅 2026-09-09
The board will vote on a proposal from “MGT Impact Solutions, LLC” with no public details about the cost, scope, or purpose of the contract. This commits taxpayer funds to a consultant without transparent deliverables.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda provides no details on the MGT Impact Solutions contract (Item 13). Contact the Krum ISD administration and ask for the full proposal and cost to be posted publicly before the vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees
