Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: EASTLAND ISD – Monday, September 14, 2026 [f6750bd3]

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

District Promotes Taxpayer-Funded Lobby Groups

📅 Scheduled Action

The Superintendent’s report includes an update on TASA/TASB, two associations that lobby the Texas Legislature using local tax dollars. These groups often advocate for higher taxes and oppose parental rights and transparency reforms, working against the interests of the taxpayers who fund them.

Response

QUESTION THE PARTNERSHIP: Use the Open Forum (Item 3) to ask the board: ‘How much in taxpayer money does Eastland ISD pay annually in dues to TASA and TASB? What specific legislative positions have these groups taken on our behalf, and do they align with this community’s values?’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

Undisclosed Cost for Admin Building Renovation

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will vote on competitive proposals for an “Admin Renovation” without disclosing the project’s cost or funding source. This prevents public scrutiny of a potentially significant capital expenditure before the board commits taxpayer money.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Eastland ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 8, what is the total cost of the Admin Renovation, and how is it being funded? Please publish the proposals and cost breakdown before any vote.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
