Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: AQUILLA ISD – Monday, September 21, 2026 [aa0e7834]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Adopting Policies from Austin Lobbying Group

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is scheduled to approve “TASB Update 127,” a package of pre-written school policies. This outsources local policy-making to the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), a group that lobbies the Legislature for higher taxes and against parental rights.

Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Aquilla ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). ‘Regarding Item VIII, please pull the TASB Update 127 for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Our district should write its own policies, not adopt them from an Austin lobbying group.’

💰 Impact: Ceding Local Control

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)

Taxpayer-Funded Trip to Lobbyist Convention

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is discussing attending the TASB Convention. This uses local tax dollars to pay for travel and registration, directly funding an organization that lobbies in Austin for policies that often lead to higher property taxes and reduced local control.

Response

ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Aquilla ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). ‘Regarding Item XVI, what is the total cost for the board to attend the TASB Convention, and how does funding this lobbying group benefit Aquilla taxpayers?’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
