Local candidate asks Crowley ISD trustees for ARB nomination
Summary
At the open forum, Syeda Sayed requested the district’s nomination to serve on the Appraisal Review Board (ARB), citing prior attendance at TAD meetings and referencing recent legislative change SB 973 affecting property appraisal dates.
During the board’s open forum the lone registered speaker, Syeda Sayed of Sapphire Circle, asked trustees for a nomination to serve as a member of the taxing‑unit Appraisal Review Board (ARB). Sayed introduced herself as "one of the tenant appraisal district board of directors, nominee" and said she brings experience and understanding of ARB duties. She referenced recent legislative change (SB 973) related to the property tax code and the January 1 valuation requirement, told trustees she is on the ballot and urged early votes in November.
Sayed said she has attended TAD meetings on behalf of entities that supported her candidacy and argued her membership would "bring clarity and understanding of ARB processes to the TAD board, helping to enhance the governance of our Appraisal District." Trustees acknowledged her remarks and later moved on to the evening’s financial and planning agenda items.
