Details Missing on 2026 School Facility Bond
📅 2026-09-14
The board is discussing a 2026 school facility bond, which could mean significant new long-term debt for taxpayers. The agenda provides no details on the bond’s total cost, specific projects, or the impact on property tax rates.
Response

INVESTIGATE: Contact the Lampasas ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Before any action is taken on Item 6, the 2026 School Facility Bond, please release a detailed project list, the total debt amount, and the projected impact on the property tax rate. Taxpayers deserve full transparency before being asked to take on new debt.’

Undisclosed Budget Change on Consent Agenda
📅 2026-09-14
The district is passing a budget amendment on the consent agenda, meaning it will be approved without individual discussion. This common tactic can be used to approve new spending or shift funds with minimal public scrutiny.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Lampasas ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand Item 4.B, the Budget Amendment, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being moved.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Undisclosed Vendor Payments
📅 2026-09-14
The board is set to approve a “List of Bills” without disclosing the vendors or amounts to the public in the agenda. This list could include payments for taxpayer-funded lobbying groups like the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Lampasas ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 5, please publish the full check register or “List of Bills” online prior to the meeting. Taxpayers have a right to see where their money is going before it is spent.’

💰 Impact: Possible Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
