⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

District to Approve New Budget With No Public Documents

📅 August 31, 2026

The Waskom ISD board is scheduled to approve the entire 2026-2027 budget (Item 4.C) and amend the current year’s budget (Item 4.B). The agenda provides no links to the proposed budget or the amendments, preventing taxpayers from seeing spending increases or the impact on their property tax bill before the final votes.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Waskom ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask: ‘Please publish the proposed 2026-2027 budget and the 2025-2026 amendments online immediately so taxpayers can review them before you vote on Items 4.B and 4.C.’
