NO TAX RATE CHANGE
The $165.64 million total of both bond propositions will not raise Boerne ISD’s tax rate, and taxes for residents 65 and over are frozen.
BALLOT WORDING
However, House Bill 3, the comprehensive school finance bill passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019, added subpart (b-1) to Section 45.003 of the Education Code governing school district bond elections. This addition states “The ballot proposition under Subsection (b) must include the following statement: ‘This is a property tax increase.’” The Legislature’s wording in this statute makes the inclusion of this statement mandatory in all Texas school district bond election ballot propositions.
