Texas Public Policy Foundation Alert: GLASSCOCK COUNTY ISD – Monday, August 31, 2026

Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

🚨 Alert (LEVEL 10)

Final Vote on 2026-2027 Property Tax Rate

📅 2026-08-31

The board will hold a public hearing and then immediately vote to adopt the Maintenance & Operations (M&O) and Debt Service (I&S) tax rates for the upcoming year. The agenda does not state the proposed rate, preventing taxpayers from knowing in advance if their property tax bills are set to increase.

Response

ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING: Show up at 7:30 AM to speak on the proposed budget and tax rate. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the board adopt the ‘no-new-revenue’ tax rate to prevent a tax hike.

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

District Saves Money by Canceling Uncontested Election

📅 2026-08-31

The board is set to cancel the November trustee election because all candidates are running unopposed. This is a standard procedure that saves the district and its taxpayers the significant cost of holding an unnecessary election.

How to Secure It

ACKNOWLEDGE THE SAVINGS: This is good governance. Thank the board during public comment for following the law and saving taxpayer dollars by canceling the uncontested election.

✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
