📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming MEADOW ISD agenda. There are 2 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9)
Final Vote on 2026 Property Tax Rate
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote to adopt the Maintenance & Operations (M&O) and Interest & Sinking (I&S) tax rates for the 2026 tax year. The agenda does not disclose the proposed rate or how it compares to the no-new-revenue rate, which means a tax hike could be approved without clear advance notice to the public.
Response

ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING: Show up for the Public Hearing (Item III) to demand the board adopt the No-New-Revenue tax rate. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Items VIII.a, VIII.b, and VIII.c, what is the proposed total tax rate and how does it compare to the No-New-Revenue and Voter-Approval rates?’

💰 Impact: Potential Property Tax Increase
✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 8)
District to Certify Compliance with State DEI Ban
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote to formally certify that the district is in compliance with state law prohibiting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and staff duties. This is a proactive step to ensure the district remains focused on academics and avoids politically charged mission creep.
How to Secure It

SECURE THE WIN: Attend the meeting to thank the board for taking this proactive step. Contact the board via the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Thank you for your leadership in certifying compliance with the state’s DEI ban under Item VIII.d. This protects our schools and tax dollars.’

✅ Why It Matters: Protects Against Mission Creep
