Local Alert

📅 Tuesday, October 27, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming EANES ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

WATCH (LEVEL 4)

District Policy Guided by Taxpayer-Funded Lobby Group

📅 October 27, 2026

The district’s public comment policy, referenced under Item 3, is provided by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is an association that uses local tax dollars to lobby the Texas Legislature against key taxpayer interests, including property tax relief and parental rights.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Email the Eanes ISD Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I see from the Oct. 27 agenda that our policies are sourced from TASB. Does our district pay membership dues to this organization, which lobbies against taxpayer interests, and if so, how much are taxpayers paying for it?’

💰 Impact: Influence from Anti-Taxpayer Lobby

WATCH (LEVEL 3)

Restrictive Rules Limit Public Comment

📅 October 27, 2026

Under Item 3, the board requires residents to sign up by noon the day before the meeting to speak and may limit comments to as little as one minute. This policy can prevent parents and taxpayers from responding to last-minute issues and makes it difficult to present a meaningful case to the board.

Response

Email the Eanes ISD Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the Open Forum rules in Item 3, please amend the policy to allow same-day sign-ups and guarantee a minimum of three minutes per speaker to ensure robust public participation and accountability.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
