Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming IRION COUNTY ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
| ⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed ‘Action Items’ on Agenda
The agenda lists a section for ‘Action Items’ where votes will be taken, but fails to specify what those items are. This practice hides important decisions from public view until the moment of the vote, preventing meaningful citizen input.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Irion County ISD board. ‘The agenda for the September 14 meeting lists “Action Items” under Item 10 without any description. What specific items will the board be voting on? The public has a right to know before the meeting.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

Key Nomination for County Appraisal Board
The school board will discuss nominating a representative to the Irion County Appraisal District Board of Directors. This position has significant influence over property appraisals, which directly impact every homeowner’s property tax bill.
Response
INFLUENCE THE NOMINATION: Contact the Irion County ISD board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 9.A, I urge you to nominate a director for the Appraisal District Board who is committed to fairness, transparency, and protecting taxpayers from inflated appraisals.’
💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Board to Discuss State Legislation
The board is dedicating time to discuss ‘Senate Bill 12,’ a piece of state-level legislation. This could be a precursor to the district taking an official position or using local resources to influence state policy.
Response
ASK FOR CLARITY: Contact the Irion County ISD board. ‘Regarding Item 4, what is the subject of Senate Bill 12, and is the board planning to take an official position on state legislation using taxpayer resources?’
💰 Impact: Potential Mission Drift
