Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: KARNES CITY ISD – Monday, September 14, 2026 [2e2c19bd]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Board to Appoint Delegate to Taxpayer-Funded Lobby Group

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will appoint a delegate to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) for the upcoming year. TASB uses dues paid by school districts—funded by your property taxes—to lobby the state legislature, often for higher taxes and against parental rights and educational freedom.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Karnes City ISD board (see district website for contact info). ‘Regarding the agenda item to appoint a TASB delegate, I demand a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know why we fund a lobby group that works against our interests in Austin.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
