Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: GEORGETOWN ISD – Tuesday, September 22, 2026 [c7314b9d]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Ideological Books Proposed for School Libraries

📅 Scheduled Action

The district is approving a long list of new library books, including several that promote contested political and social ideologies. Titles for high schoolers include ‘When they call you a terrorist : a Black Lives Matter memoir’ and ‘Conversion Therapy Dropout: A Queer Story of Faith and Belonging.’ These materials move the library’s focus from education to activism on the taxpayer’s dime.

Response

SPEAK UP AT THE MEETING: Sign up for public comment regarding Consent Item VIII.G. Contact the Georgetown ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I urge you to review the full list of proposed library books and reject those that promote political activism instead of education, such as ‘When they call you a terrorist’ and ‘Conversion Therapy Dropout’.’

💰 Impact: Politicizing School Libraries

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Requires Verification

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbyist Policy on Consent Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is set to approve ‘Policy Update #127’ from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) without separate discussion. TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobbying group that often works against the interests of parents and taxpayers in Austin. Adopting their policies entrenches their influence in the district.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Georgetown ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand that Item VIII.D be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Ask ‘How much in taxpayer dollars does GISD pay annually in dues to TASB?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees
