Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming CLAUDE ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

ALERT (LEVEL 9)

First Step Towards Issuing New Debt

📅 October 28, 2026

The board is voting on a ‘Resolution Expressing Intent to Reimburse Expenditures,’ which is the first legal step required to issue new debt. This maneuver often precedes the use of Certificates of Obligation, a form of debt that bypasses voters and is paid for by future property taxes.

Response

DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Claude ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 5.A, what is the total amount of spending the district intends to reimburse, what is the purpose of these expenditures, and will the associated debt be put before the voters for approval?’

💰 Impact: Future Debt (No Voter Approval)
