Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: RICARDO ISD – Monday, September 21, 2026 [6b9bed9c]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming RICARDO ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying via TASB

📅 Scheduled Action

The agenda includes a report from the TASB Risk Management Fund under item VIII.C. This confirms a financial relationship with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), an organization that lobbies the state legislature against taxpayer interests like property tax relief and parental rights.

Response

Contact the Ricardo ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item VIII.C, how much in taxpayer money does Ricardo ISD pay annually in dues and fees to TASB? I urge the board to withdraw from this organization, which lobbies against the interests of taxpayers and parents.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees
