Texas Public Policy Foundation

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

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

District Discussing Major Capital Projects

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is discussing prioritizing capital projects, including property acquisition and a new auditorium. These discussions often precede large bond proposals or debt issuance that can significantly raise property taxes.

Response

Contact the board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 4.C, please ensure any future capital projects are funded transparently and that any proposed debt is put before the voters for approval, not issued as Certificates of Obligation.’

💰 Impact: Future Property Tax Hikes

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Major Win (LEVEL 7)

School District Ends Corporate Tax Break

📅 Scheduled Action

The district is terminating a Chapter 313 agreement with Stetson Renewables Holdings LLC. These agreements give large corporations a decade-long property tax discount, shifting the burden to homeowners and small businesses. Ending this deal is a win for local taxpayers.

How to Secure It

Show up to thank the Board for ending this corporate handout. Contact the board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Thank you for terminating the Chapter 313 agreement in Item 2.C.4. This is a pro-taxpayer move that puts local homeowners first.’

✅ Why It Matters: Tax Burden Returned to Corporation
