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.

Fifth Circuit Clears Deepwater Natural Gas Port, Tosses Challenge by Climate Activist Groups
The ruling is being touted as a win for President Trump’s energy agenda. A federal appellate court has cleared the way for the Delfin LNG deepwater port in the Gulf of America, rejecting a legal challenge by three left-wing environmental organizations. The groups had sought to vacate the project’s federal license. The organizations failed to demonstrate that a single one of their members had suffered or faced an injury traceable to the project. The ruling is being touted as a win for President Donald Trump’s energy dominance agenda. The port would feature a cluster of floating vessels moored miles offshore, liquefying natural gas and loading it onto tankers bound overseas. The company asked the Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the U.S. Coast Guard for approval. In compliance with the Deepwater Port Act (DPA), MARAD notified Texas and Louisiana—as adjacent states—so their governors could approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve the project. Neither governor responded. MARAD then published five federal register notices, held six public hearings in the two states, invited public comment four times, and prepared a 2016 environmental impact statement (EIS) exceeding 1,800 pages—analyzing the project’s effects on the environment, socioeconomics, transportation, and air quality.

TAMU’s Race and Ethnic Studies Institute Receives Over $100,000 Annually
Critical race theory and identity politics research is lavishly funded in Aggieland. Texas Scorecard has previously reported on the Race and Ethnic Studies Institute (RESI) and its professors, whose output runs the gamut of left-wing grievance studies. As part of the initial reporting on RESI, Texas Scorecard filed an open records request for its budgets over the past five years. Based on those records, RESI receives $100,000 in annual support from Texas A&M for “Operating funds.” It has also received a series of smaller amounts for “tuition support,” “dean’s initiatives,” “payroll support,” and “salary support.” With this funding, RESI’s advisory board, faculty affiliates, and graduate student affiliates produce grievance-studies-themed content. RESI financially supports this content through a series of fellowships and grants. Texas A&M did not respond to multiple, detailed requests for comment. A question regarding future plans for this institute was asked multiple times.

The search for Wylie ISD’s next superintendent is underway
ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – The Wylie ISD School Board selected the Region 14 Education Service Center on Monday to assist in its search for a new superintendent. This comes after the district announced in May that Superintendent Joey Light would be retiring at the end of September 2027. Wylie ISD Superintendent Joey Light to retire...Wylie ISD School Board President Miller Loudermilk said the board wants to be actively involved in the process, and that is part of why they chose Region 14. “They are familiar with Wylie, and they actually bring us kind of the best of both worlds. Our board was very passionate about wanting to be actively involved, and there are some firms that they kind of do a lot of the legwork for it for you and then bring you the candidate,” Loudermilk said. “Whereas we really wanted to be involved in the step-by-step process.”

Texas Leaders Direct Agencies to Reduce Budget Requests by 3 Percent
Republican leaders say the spending restraint will help preserve funding for priorities while supporting additional property tax relief. Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and House Speaker Dustin Burrows are directing most state agencies to reduce their baseline budget requests by 3 percent, as Republicans push for meaningful property tax relief during the upcoming legislative session. In joint guidance issued to state agencies, institutions of higher education, and other state entities, the three leaders outlined priorities for preparing Legislative Appropriations Requests for the 2028–29 biennium. The guidance calls on agencies to reduce their base appropriation requests by 3 percent, while exempting several priorities, including the Foundation School Program, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, foster care, adoption assistance, and the Texas Education Savings Account Program.

Illegal Immigration Raised Home Prices During Biden Administration
A working paper from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas concluded that the large influx of illegal aliens during the Biden administration drove up housing prices and rents. According to the paper, roughly 7 million people illegally came to the United States between 2021 and 2024. This spike of illegal immigration “raised local house prices and rents without expanding housing supply,” acting as a “demand shock to local housing markets.” Using court records and border enforcement information alongside housing market data, the economists estimated that illegal immigration “can explain about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of total growth in rents over the boom period for the average local market.” “We’ve actually been saying this for a number of months now,” U.S. Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R–Irving) told CBS News. “I don’t think people sometimes understand the ramifications of having so many folks enter your country illegally in such a short period of time and the financial disaster that it causes.”

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.
