Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming SABINE PASS ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Proposed Tax Rate Lacks Key Context for Taxpayers

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will consider a proposed 2026-2027 tax rate of $0.92620. The agenda fails to provide the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which is the rate that would raise the same amount of money as the previous year. Without this crucial benchmark, taxpayers cannot know if this proposal is a genuine tax cut or a tax hike hidden behind a slightly lower rate number.

Response

Contact the Sabine Pass ISD board before the September 14 meeting. ‘Regarding Item 6.b, please publish the no-new-revenue tax rate and the voter-approval tax rate before any discussion. Taxpayers deserve to know the true impact of the proposed rate on their tax bills.’ Contact information for board members should be available on the district’s official website.
