Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming THRALL ISD agenda. There are 3 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.
| 🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9) |
|
Vote to Set the 2026-27 Property Tax Rate
The board will vote to set the new property tax rate for the upcoming year. The agenda provides no detail on whether this rate is the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which keeps the levy flat, or a higher rate that would increase the tax burden on homeowners.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: Show up to the meeting on September 16th. Sign up for public comment on Item 10.A and demand the board adopt the No-New-Revenue tax rate to protect Thrall families from a tax increase.
💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes

Undisclosed Large Purchase on Action Agenda
The board is scheduled to vote on an unspecified purchase costing more than $25,000. The agenda provides no details on the vendor, the item being purchased, or the source of funds, preventing any public scrutiny before the vote.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Thrall ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the meeting. ‘Taxpayers deserve to know what the district is buying with over $25,000 of their money. Please post the details for Item 10.B publicly before you vote.’
💰 Impact: $25,000+

Student Data Platform on the Agenda
The board is reviewing a presentation on ‘datience’IQ,’ a student data analytics platform. These systems can collect sensitive student information, and parents need to know how this data is used, stored, and who has access to it before the district moves forward.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: This is an information item, so no vote is scheduled yet. Contact the Thrall ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 9.D, what specific student data will datience’IQ collect, and will parents have a clear opt-out? We need a public discussion on data privacy before any contract is considered.’
💰 Impact: Potential Student Privacy Risk
