What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Education Quality
Approves Socorro ISD's $1.0505 property tax rate per $100 of value, raising money for teacher pay, student programs, safety, and school upkeep. The district expects $49.2 million more a year in state and local funds and says a $250,000 homeowner would pay about $10 more per month.
Proposed by: Socorro Independent School District Board of Trustees (order calling the election)
The district's elected school board. Texas requires a public vote when a school district wants a property tax rate above the limit it can set alone.
