We've told you WHY for 4+ years:
For starters, deliberate deception, no LR plan, split feeder patterns, no fiscal responsibility, backwards bond planning, & huge tax hikes!

@JamesQuinteroTX@DSISD At least, that's the only way we can get the numbers to align...
"The 2.5% mechanism for school districts in HB 3 does not actually cap revenue for districts, rather it limits the amount the local share of tier one can grow in any given year."

@JamesQuinteroTX What's worse: Texas ISDs like @DSISD increased property tax bills for an avg residence by 19%/$959 last year & 10.4%/$594 this year using one-time COVID relief dollars to enable these tax increases, since 2019 HB3 caps YTY SPENDING growth, not tax bills!

State code requires local governments to provide tax estimates on bond propositions. But some estimates leave voters with the false impression that the millions and billions in new debt will not cost more in taxes to pay off. https://t.co/mE7xVpevPh
💰Citizens in Dripping Springs are organizing against a half-billion-dollar school bond package on the November ballot they say includes “irresponsible” spending and will result in “crushing” tax hikes & debt for local residents.

In Senate Ed. today. It's clear that #txed hates HB 3 requirement that every ISD bond proposition include the simple statement that "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE."
Why do public schools have so much angst over transparency? #txlege@TPPF

Although the 2020-2021 school year opened amid fears that teachers were leaving en masse, Texas public schools employed more teachers and administrators than ever before. Teachers continue to make up a minority of school staff.

In 2016, @dallasnews Watchdog interviewed a retired @FBI Agent & TX School Investigator, who found the "crux of the [school corruption] problem" is "school boards across the state, are too heavily influenced and reliant upon @tasbnews"!
