Spot on— that $14.3M "rebate" is just chump change crumbs from TASB/BuyBoard's $125M fee-grab since 2006, a slick PR stunt to mask the real heist on Texas taxpayers.

But let's zoom out: TASB hides behind a "pro-public ed" nonprofit mask, training trustees while wielding massive sway to line pockets of architecture firms and construction giants feasting on school bonds. They coach boards to hand over the keys—when, if, and how much to borrow for new builds or renos—straight to admins chasing vendor kickbacks, gutting local control and quality ed for all.

And don't get me started on the "woke mind virus" spread: TASB pushes trustees to defer classroom calls to unchecked teachers and admins dodging accountability on radical agendas.

With $18.4B in public funds flowing through their Lone Star Investment Pool alone, this isn't oversight—it's a trillion-dollar influence machine robbing kids of fair, excellent schools.

Time to audit, expose, and dismantle the TASB grift. Who's with me? #TXed #EndTASBScam

Teachers absolutely should be celebrated on this day and EVERY day….too bad this org also promoted during their summer training to weaponize and withhold pay raises making teacher pay a political pawn! #DumpTASB #NoTaxpayerFundedLobby

@TEEforEducation loves to help Texas public school officials draft these types of memos! #DumpTASB #MoreToCome #txlege #txed

[John Petree @johnpetree]

Any district sending public dollars to TASB should be outraged by the outright promotion of weaponizing teacher compensation to levy elections! Texas teachers deserve the best, not what Austin lobbyists like TASB determine. It's time to #DumpTASB #txlege #txed

This is a travesty and any teacher in a TASB school should demand change. This anti-teacher ideology weaponizes compensation as a pawn in political games! Public dollars footed the bill for this propaganda event at a cost of $485 per trustee! It’s time to #DumpTASB #TxLege #TxEd

"He was encouraging us to utilize compensation as a weapon to try to change the way our teachers would vote."
