Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: ANTHONY ISD – Wednesday, September 16, 2026 [b9b73822]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

District Sending Delegates to Lobbying Group

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is appointing voting delegates to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Delegate Assembly. TASB is a taxpayer-funded organization that lobbies the state legislature for higher taxes and against parental rights and educational freedom.

Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for your message to be forwarded to the board: ‘Regarding Item 8.A, I object to using district resources to participate in TASB’s political lobbying. Please vote NO on sending delegates and consider withdrawing from TASB entirely.’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Contracts on Consent Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to approve all purchases over $25,000 as a single item on the consent agenda, without listing the specific vendors or amounts in the agenda. This practice can obscure significant spending from public view until after the money is approved.

Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the backup documentation for Item 7.B to be posted online. ‘Consent Agenda Item 7.B should be pulled for individual discussion and a recorded vote. The public deserves to see the details of all purchases over $25,000 before they are approved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Contracts
