Key Appointment to County Appraisal Board

Response
GET INVOLVED: Contact the Mason ISD board before the meeting about Item 8.C. Ask ‘Who are the nominees for the Appraisal District Board, and what are their views on protecting taxpayers from escalating appraisals?’ Urge them to nominate individuals committed to fairness for property owners.

Undisclosed Student Counseling Agreement
The board will discuss an agreement with ‘Morning Hope Ministries’ to use a district building for student counseling services (Item 6.B). Without the text of the agreement, parents cannot know what services will be offered, what data will be collected, or what their consent rights are.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The proposed agreement with Morning Hope Ministries for student counseling (Item 6.B) has not been made public. Contact the Mason ISD administration and ask for the full text of the agreement to be posted online before any vote.

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Using Construction Funds for Vehicle Purchase
The board plans to approve buying a 66-passenger bus using money from the ‘construction funds account’ (Item 8.B). Taxpayers should question if using long-term funds, likely from bonds meant for buildings, on a short-term asset like a bus is a responsible use of their money.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Regarding Item 8.B, contact the Mason ISD board and ask: ‘Why are construction funds being used to purchase a bus? Please provide an accounting of the construction fund and confirm this purchase aligns with the promises made to voters.’
💰 Impact: Questionable Use of Bond Funds
