Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: SINTON ISD – Monday, September 21, 2026 [caf6464b]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

🚨 Alert (LEVEL 10)

Final Vote on 2026 Property Tax Rate

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will vote to set the final property tax rate for the 2026 tax year under Item V.3. The agenda provides no details on the proposed rate or whether it exceeds the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which would constitute a tax increase for homeowners.

Response

PACK THE ROOM: This is the vote that sets your property tax bill. Contact the Sinton ISD administration before the meeting and demand they publish the proposed tax rate alongside the no-new-revenue rate. At the meeting, demand a recorded vote on Item V.3 and urge the board to adopt the no-new-revenue rate.

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed ‘Programs and Services’ Contract on Consent Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to approve a contract with Education Service Center 2 for unspecified ‘programs and services’ as part of a bundled consent agenda vote. These contracts can sometimes introduce controversial curricula or training into the district with little public scrutiny.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Sinton ISD board and ask that Item IV.9 be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Ask for the full contract to be posted online so parents can see what ‘programs and services’ their tax dollars are funding.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
