How do I get my SuperSearch on TexasISD.com?Preventive Law: The Emergency Repairs Process: Knowing and Planning
It’s that time of year when weather conditions can be unpredictable. A small chance of rain can rapidly turn into lightning, high winds, and hail. When emergency repairs arise, it’s important for school districts to be able to respond quickly and legally. Let’s review the process for districts to utilize when responding to the need for emergency repairs and steps to take in preparation for when emergency repairs are required.

Rumors that former Dallas ISD superintendent Michael Hinojosa would run for mayor started shortly after he stepped down from his second stint of leading the district in 2022. Those rumors became reality when he officially announced his campaign this week— 16 months ahead of the November 2027 election. "I'm baaaack," Hinojosa said in a sing-song voice during his first presser Tuesday morning. November 2027 will be an open seat election because Mayor Eric Johnson is termed out.

Gubernatorial candidates’ answers to property tax limits
The vast majority of conservative, moderate, and liberal voters want a say on property tax increases and a limit on the increase in taxable assessed values, yet asked whether they support each, responses from gubernatorial candidates or their campaigns are “Yes,” “No,” and no reply. The Sentnel recently asked nine gubernatorial candidates from both parties their positions on two “yes-no” property tax questions. The Sentinel emailed the questions and followed up with a phone call to make sure the campaigns were aware they had been sent. Only five candidates — four Republicans and one Democrat responded. The initial response from the phone number associated with the Holscher campaign was vulgar and no reply from the emails sent to the campaign or Holscher’s Senate email. The campaign has since said it published a phone number that it no longer has and the official response is “no” to both questions.

Dallas County DA argues elections official should be dropped from LULAC lawsuit over voter purge
Dallas County has asked a federal court to drop its top elections official from a lawsuit filed by the League of United Latin American Citizens. Dallas district attorneys recently filed a motion to remove Elections Administrator Paul Adams from the suit, arguing that he "has not violated any federal or state law, and has complied with the procedures set out in Texas Election Code." LULAC, Texas LULAC, LULAC's Dallas chapter and Common Cause alleged in a federal lawsuit that Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson and elections administrators across the state violated the National Voter Registration Act.
