⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)
School Board to Adopt Official State Lobbying Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote on a resolution to set its lobbying priorities for the upcoming state legislative session, in collaboration with the Texas Association of Rural Schools (TARS). This commits district resources and its official position to influencing state lawmakers, often for policies that increase spending and state control, without disclosing the specific priorities to the public ahead of the vote.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Granger ISD Board (see official agenda for contact info). ‘Before you vote on Item 7.C, the public must see the full text of the proposed legislative priorities. What specific legislation will you be supporting or opposing with our tax dollars?’

💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)
Requires Verification

District Adopting Policies Drafted by Austin Lobbyists
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is voting on local policy changes drafted by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), an organization that lobbies the legislature against taxpayer interests like property tax relief. The agenda references an attached list of these policies, but without reviewing the document, the public cannot see what changes are being made before the vote.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda for Item 7.B references an attached list of policy changes. Open the official agenda (linked above) to find this attachment and see what is being proposed. Contact the Granger ISD Board: ‘I demand Item 7.B be pulled for a separate discussion and a recorded vote. We must see where each board member stands on adopting policies written by an Austin lobby group.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
