Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

ALERT (LEVEL 3)

Taxpayer-Funded Association Dues

📅 Scheduled Action

A payment of $75 is listed in the check register to an unspecified organization called “WEST CENTRAL TEXAS” for “ADMIN-DUES”. The purpose of this organization and what these taxpayer-funded dues support is not disclosed in the agenda documents.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This payment is buried in the Consent Agenda under Item 3.A. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What is the “WEST CENTRAL TEXAS” organization, and what lobbying activities do our $75 in dues support?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Association Dues

ALERT (LEVEL 2)

Payment to School Administrators’ Association

📅 Scheduled Action

A credit card payment of $85 was made to the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO) for a registration fee. While TASBO is a professional organization, taxpayers should be aware of any funds going to associations that may take positions on legislation affecting local schools and property taxes.

Response

ASK FOR CLARIFICATION: This payment is part of the bills list in Consent Agenda Item 3.A. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Does TASBO lobby the legislature, and if so, what are its positions on property tax relief and parental rights?’

💰 Impact: Potential Lobbying Influence
