Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming RIO GRANDE CITY GRULLA ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 10)
School Board to Set 2026 Property Tax Rate
📅 September 30, 2026
The school board is scheduled to vote on and adopt the property tax rate for 2026. This single vote will directly determine the size of the property tax bill for every homeowner and business in the district.
Response

PACK THE ROOM: This is the vote that sets your school property tax bill. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the board: ‘For Item 6.b.i, I demand you adopt the No-New-Revenue tax rate to prevent a tax hike.’

💰 Impact: Potential Property Tax Increase
WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Vague Spending Under Lobby Group’s Policy
📅 September 30, 2026
The board will vote on unspecified purchases guided by policy from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobby group that often opposes property tax relief and parental rights at the state capitol.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for a detailed list of the requisitions under Item 6.b.ii before the vote. Ask why the district follows purchasing policies from a lobby group like TASB.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
