🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9)
Secret Negotiations for Corporate Tax Giveaway
📅 2026-09-08
The board is meeting in a closed-door executive session to discuss a “Chapter 313” style tax abatement for an unnamed corporation. These deals shift the property tax burden from large companies onto local homeowners and small businesses.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Trustees before the meeting. ‘Any discussion of a Chapter 313/403 corporate tax giveaway must happen in the open, not in executive session. Who is the company and how much will this cost taxpayers?’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

Undisclosed “Financial Advisory Services” Contract
📅 2026-09-08
The board is set to approve a contract with USCA Municipal Advisors for unspecified “financial advisory services.” Without a public copy of the contract or a list of deliverables, taxpayers cannot know the cost or purpose of this new consultant.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the proposed contract with USCA Municipal Advisors to be posted online before the vote. ‘Taxpayers deserve to know what ‘financial advisory services’ we are paying for and how much they will cost.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees

How to Secure It

ATTEND AND SUPPORT: Show up to thank the board for implementing state law and ensuring the district focuses on academics, not ideology. This public record ensures accountability and sets a positive example for other districts.

✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Classroom Focus
