⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

District to Approve Sending Local Tax Dollars to Austin (‘Robin Hood’)

📅 September 1, 2026

The board will vote to approve a “Robin Hood” payment, which sends local property tax dollars to the state for redistribution. The agenda delegates authority to the Superintendent to finalize the agreement, meaning the board is approving this massive payment without a publicly stated final cost.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7, what is the estimated cost of purchasing attendance credits? The board should not approve this payment without a specific dollar amount made public before the vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed ‘Robin Hood’ Payment

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

Vague Interlocal Agreement with Neighboring District

📅 September 1, 2026

The board is set to approve an “Interlocal Contract” with Columbia-Brazoria ISD, but the agenda provides no details about the contract’s purpose, cost, or terms. This lack of information prevents public oversight of the agreement.

Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda does not include the proposed contract. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for a copy of the Interlocal Contract under Item 7.A to be posted online before the vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
