Taxparency Information 

 

Click here for important information from PISD School Board President Missy Bender about public school funding.  If you want your school tax dollars to stay in public education TAKE ACTION:

 

Call and/or email your State Elected Officials:

• Tell your Legislators you feel they are not being transparent when they use their "savings" from property value growth to fund other state priorities, and that you expect your tax dollars, paid to your public school district, to remain in public education.
• Hold them accountable for what they are and are not doing to fix it. Legislators say they don’t like Robin Hood. OK, what's the solution? What are they going to do to change it?
• Share your personal experiences and the issues you see impacting your local school district to make the message more meaningful to legislators.
• Stay connected with Taxparency Texas on Twitter and Facebook.
• Learn more here.
