GRAPEVINE-COLLEYVILLE ISD

BOND 101 About School Bond Elections WHAT IS A BOND? A bond is similar to a home mortgage. It is a contract to repay borrowed money with interest over time. Bonds are sold by a school district to competing lenders to raise funds to pay for the costs of construction, renovations and equipment. Most school districts in Texas utilize bonds to finance renovations and new facilities, and buy new school buses.

HOW CAN BOND FUNDS BE USED? Bond funds can be used to pay for new buildings, additions and renovations to existing facilities, land acquisition, technology and infrastructure, and equipment for new or existing buildings and departments. Bonds cannot be used for salaries or operating costs such as utility bills, supplies, building maintenance, fuel and insurance.

WHY DO DISTRICTS CALL A BOND ELECTION? School districts are required by state law to ask voters for permission to sell bonds to investors in order to raise the capital dollars required for projects such as building a new school. Essentially, the voters are giving permission for the district to take out a loan and pay that loan back over an extended period of time, much like a family takes out a mortgage loan for their home. A school board calls a bond election so voters can decide whether or not they want to pay for proposed projects.

WHEN CAN DISTRICTS CALL A BOND ELECTION?

About School District Tax Rates

Texas Election Code requires school bond elections to be held on uniform election dates, which are: • First Tuesday (after the first Monday) in November Public school taxes involve two figures, which divide the school district • First Saturday in May budget into two “buckets.”

WILLIS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

PROPOSED BOND PROJECTS Bond 2024 is about the growth of Willis ISD. The proposed bond projects include new facilities to address student enrollment growth and to support student programs.

PROPOSITION A | $102,700,000 • 9th Grade Center • Transportation Center • General Infrastructure • Willis HS Parking Lot Upgrades

willisisd.org/

bond2024 TAX IMPACT

PROPOSITION B | $68,800,000 Athletic Complex & Stadium with Community Room

PROPOSITION C | $19,600,000 Aquatic Center

Willis ISD’s total tax rate is made up of two separate components Maintenance & Operations which funds day-to-day expenses, and Interest & Sinking which is used to pay annual debt payments approved by voters through bond elections. A bond election can pay for the proposed projects while leaving M&O funds for teacher salaries and daily utilities. Willis ISD has reduced the overall tax rate by 38 cents since 2018 resulting in the current rate of $1.0002 per $100 property valuation. If the bond package is approved by voters, it is estimated the district’s total tax rate would be $1.0792 (per $100 property valuation). For an average home valued at approximately $268,000, this equates to a monthly increase of $11.11.

April 29-30, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

Jarrell ISD’s last bond in 2021 was driven by growth and included a new elementary school (Double Creek ES) and expansions to other campuses. In 2021, demographic studies projected JISD enrollment would grow by 19% over the next two years. However, enrollment in our district has grown by 25% each year since 2021. While the difference in those percentages may not sound like much, it equates to over 580 students added in 2021-22 school year and another 720 students added this year. The district is projected to continue growing rapidly, more than doubling in size in the next 5 years.

QUICK FACTS Based on the recommendation of a Long-Range Planning Committee and to keep up with the rapid growth in the district, the LHISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved an order calling for a $491.7M bond election to be held on May 1, 2021.

to consider a Penny Swap for MISD

BOND PACKAGE BREAKDOWN This bond proposal, developed by the community to address student growth, will be presented to voters in Propositions A-D:

PROPOSITION A $457.7 MILLION School Facilities New Construction to include 2 new elementary schools, 1 new middle school, 1 new high school Expansions at Liberty Hill ES and Louine Noble ES; Liberty Hill MS and Santa Rita MS; Liberty Hill HS. These expansions will address capacity, equity, CTE and fine arts Safety, Security & Infrastructure across campuses Land Acquisition and design of Elementary #8 and Middle School #4 Transportation and buses

PROPOSITION B $8 MILLION School Technology Technology devices for students and staff

PROPOSITION C $6 MILLION Expanding and Improving Panther Stadium Expand LHHS stadium seating to include additional 5000 seat capacity and addition of ADA compliant restrooms

PROPOSITION D $20 MILLION Construction of New Stadium at High School #2 Modest Stadium for High School #2, including competition field with track, locker rooms, home and visitor seating, concessions and restrooms

NO TAX RATE INCREASE By law, the district cannot increase the debt tax rate, also known as the Interest and Sinking (I&S) fund, because it is already at $0.50 per $100 valuation — the maximum allowed by the state.

The passage of this bond will not result in a tax rate increase. However, a new state law now requires every school district to include the statement “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE” on the ballot, regardless of the actual impact on that district’s tax rate. If approved by voters, the district tax rate would not increase. This is due, in part, to the rapid growth in the community.

While the I&S rate has been and would remain at 50 cents (regardless of the outcome of this bond), the Maintenance and Operations rate was reduced by 11 cents last year and 7 cents in 2019.

Learn more about how this tax rate is possible at www.libertyhillisdbond.com/tax-information.

DID YOU KNOW? In Texas, bonds are the only mechanism to fund the construction of new schools or pay for large infrastructure projects or expansions.

Along with accommodating for growth, this bond also addresses equity of schools, efficiency of scale, and campus student capacity.

• Three of the four elementary schools are built for 800 students, while one holds approximately 400 students.

• The Long-Range Planning Committee, made up parents, residents, business owners, senior citizens and staff, determined that for schools to be more equitable, they need to be approximately the same size so all students would have similar opportunities, programs and experiences as other campuses in the district.

1 2 3 4 5

MAINTAIN QUALITY INSTRUCTION, STUDENT PROGRAMS & CHOICE MISD believes in the Power of Choice and has created opportunities for parents and students to choose the educational pathway and offerings that is the best fit for them. Additional state revenue from the Penny Swap would allow MISD to continue offering specialized programs and academies while maintaining high-quality instruction across all classrooms.

RETAIN QUALITY TEACHERS

MISD is committed to hiring and maintaining a diverse, highly-qualified staff. Funds from the Penny Swap can be used for teacher and staff salaries, allowing the district to maintain competitive salaries, benefits, and professional development opportunities designed to retain the best staff to teach our students.

UPHOLD SAFETY & SECURITY STANDARDS

The safety and well-being of MISD students and staff members is the district’s top priority. The Penny Swap would allow the district to maintain an MISD officer on every campus, support the MISD Police Department and effectively manage threats.

PENNY SWAP DOES NOT INCREASE OVERALL TAX RATE

With the Penny Swap, the MISD total tax rate will not increase. With voter approval, MISD can swap 13 pennies from the I&S rate to the M&O rate, keeping the total tax rate at $1.4183.

GENERATE $24.7 MILLION ADDITIONAL REVENUE

By restructuring the district’s tax rate – swapping 13 pennies from I&S to M&O – MISD will receive an additional $24.7 million to use on daily student operations at no additional cost to taxpayers.

TAX INFORMATION

OVER 65?

HEB ISD currently has the lowest tax rate among DFW peer districts, and while this bond could increase the debt service portion of the tax rate by 13.76 cents, the overall school district tax rate is expected to be approximately five cents lower than last year because of state compression on the operations portion of the tax rate. If the November bond is approved by voters, the HEB ISD tax rate would still be lower than most Tarrant County school districts.

School taxes are frozen for property owners 65 and older who have the Over 65 exemption on file with the local tax office.

This bond would not increase the amount of school taxes paid by residents over 65.

YOUR VOTE COUNTS! Anyone who’s a registered voter and lives within the HEB ISD boundaries is eligible to vote in the bond election.

THE PLANO ISD TAX RATE WILL NOT CHANGE AS A RESULT OF THIS BOND ELECTION

OCT 24 – NOV 4

TAX RATE ELECTION (VATRE) A Voter Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) is an election required by the state that asks voters to consider approving a modified tax rate to increase revenue for student programs asCENTER well as teacher and staff SOCKWELL salaries.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6

Registered voters may vote at ANY of Collin County’s Early Voting locations.

8:30 AM OR 4:30 PM

A VATRE will generate local revenue for Plano ISD to:

HOURS

• Provide the district’s teachers and staff with additional compensation, allowing PISD to retain a competitive and quality workforce for our students and community

Monday - Friday, Oct. 24 - 28: 8 am to 5 pm Saturday, October 29: 7 am to 7 pm Sunday, October 30: 11 am to 5 pm Monday - Friday, Oct. 31 - Nov. 4: 7 am to 7 pm

The Plano ISD Board of Trustees recently lowered the I&S tax rate to $0.2374 (per $100 of property value), and the district can afford to issue $1.49B bonds at this rate. The I&S tax rate will remain at $0.2374 after the bond election.

However, a new state law requires every school district to include: “This is a property tax increase.” on their bond ballots. Voters will see that wording on their ballot for each bond proposition, but the PISD I&S tax rate is not expected to go above the current rate of $0.2374.

ELECTION DAY

TUESDAY, NOV 8

The two elections will be presented as five propositions, and voters should record their vote in each of the five props:

• Allow PISD to continue offering quality programs for our students • Maintain positions and systems for the safety, security and wellbeing of students 2700 W. 15th St. Plano, TX 75075

• Help reduce the budget deficit • Help offset the loss of federal funding

$1,172,976,000 Safety & security updates, school renovations, new ADA-accessible playgrounds, a new CTE center, kitchen updates, and more.

$173,450,000 Updated classroom multimedia AV, one-to-one device replacements, data center upgrades, and more.

$130,000,000 A new multi-use, flexible event space for graduation, special events, athletic competitions, and more.

The net revenue generated by Plano ISD will be approximately $9 million annually.

CONSTRUCT TWO NEW ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES Site: Sulphur Springs Elementary Name: TBD

What’s Proposed for my Campus: Serve students in grades K-5 Roughly the size of the current Sulphur Springs Elementary School Updated spaces to facilitate the needs of modern learning Enhanced safety and security to meet current requirements

5

REASONS TO CONSIDER THE 2024 BOND PROPOSAL

1. STUDENT IMPACT

The 2024 bond proposal will impact learning spaces for more than 2,100 students in PreK through 5th grades, which is about half of SSISD’s student enrollment.

2. K-5 GRADE CONFIGURATION This proposal creates K-5 elementary schools, which research shows is better for young students by eliminating multiple school transitions.

3. MODERNIZE FACILITIES

Capacity to accommodate SSISD enrollment growth

New schools and the K-5 configuration would allow SSISD to replace schools that are now 58, 65, and 70 years old.

4. MINIMAL TAX INCREASE

TIMELINE 2024-2025: Collaborative Design Process to Follow Voter Approval 2025-2026: Construction 2026-2027: New Schools Potentially Open

The maximum impact of the 2024 bond is 1/4 penny to the tax rate, which equates to $1.47 annually for the average home value in SSISD.

5. FIRST STEP IN LONGRANGE PLANNING The 2024 bond is focused on SSISD’s oldest campuses and youngest students.

Future bonds could address the middle school and high school.

TAX INFORMATION HEB ISD currently has the lowest tax rate in the DFW area, and while this bond could increase the debt service (I&S)portion of the tax rate by 13.76 cents, the overall school district tax rate is expected to be approximately five cents lower than last year because of state compression on the operations (M&O)portion of the tax rate.

With voter approval on the November bond, the HEB ISD tax rate would still be lower than most Tarrant County school districts.

BOND PROPOSAL FOR

NEW SCHOOLS 2 REPLACEMENT HIGH SCHOOLS:

A school district’s total tax rate is made up of two separate rates: • Maintenance & Operations funds day-to-day expenses: salaries, utilities, supplies, and general maintenance.

• Interest & Sinking funds debt repayment: school construction, renovations, and technology.

L.D. Bell High School Concept

VOTERS OVER 65 HEB ISD property taxes for citizens aged 65 or older will not be affected by the bond election as long the over 65 exemption application has been filed with the local appraisal district.

According to state law, the dollar amount of school taxes imposed on the residence homestead of a person 65 years of age or older cannot be increased above the amount paid in the first year after the person turned 65 regardless of changes in tax rate or property value unless improvements are made to the home.

For more information on the over 65 exemption, visit the Tarrant Appraisal District website.

A MESSAGE FOR TAXPAYERS

THIS PROPOSAL WAS LET’S KEEP IT THAT WAY CREATED AND APPROVED BY TAXPAYERS JUST LIKE YOU.

WHY VOTE FOR

When surveyed, voters were supportive of all three propositions.

ALL 3 PROPS?

THIS BOND WILL COST THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER Without this bond, portable classrooms will pop up everywhere across the district. Shared spaces like cafeterias and hallways will be overcrowded and unsafe. More families ABOUT $5 A YEAR AND BOND will be subject to re-zoning to balance enrollment.

Vote FOR Prop A to build schools for growth.

REVENUE STAYS IN NISD. AVOID UNSAFE and UNSIGHTLY PORTABLE CITIES

KEEP KIDS CLOSE to “HOME”

Revenue generated by the sale of bonds benefits our kids and benefits our local economy. When we invest in our kids and schools we are also investing in our community.

Without this bond, student athletes and fans will be on the roads and out late on weeknights for games and other stadium events. Vote FOR Prop B to build three home stadiums and update existing athletic facilities.

UPGRADE ESSENTIAL DEVICES Students and teachers depend on tablets and laptop computers to study, complete assignments and track progress.

Nothing is more frustrating than working on old, inefficient and failing devices. Vote FOR Prop C to sell short-term bonds that will be used to purchase technology devices.

Under state law, the amount of school taxes imposed on the residence homestead of a person 65 years or older may not be increased above the amount paid in the first year the person turned 65.

This means the amount paid in school taxes on that home cannot increase as long as you live in the home and don’t make additions that would increase the value of the home.

When you read your ballot you will see statements regarding an “increase” in the tax rate. The language regarding an increase is required by the state of Texas for all school districts to include on the ballot.

Despite that requirement, LISD’s total tax RATE will be 10.6 cents less than the 2023 tax rate, even if all props pass.

Look closely at LISD’s Prop A and you will see negative percentages and dollar figures. This is because the LISD tax rate is going down from 2023.

If voters approve the bond propositions and the VATRE the total tax rate will still be 10.6 cents lower than last year’s tax rate, a double-digit decrease in the total tax rate.

Anytime a school district takes on debt through bonds, the amount of property taxes required to pay off the debt does increase. However, LISD’s historically conservative financial and debt management policies have positioned the district to take on this debt with no increase to the tax rate for LISD residents.

The ballot will read: Ratifying the ad valorem tax rate of $1.1301 per $100 valuation in Lewisville Independent School District for the current year, a rate that will result in an increase of -3.6 percent in maintenance and operations tax revenue for the district for the current year as compared to the preceding year, which is an additional $-14,676,410.

WHAT’S PROPOSED

NO TAX IMPACT FOR VOTERS OVER 65 The Brock ISD Board of Trustees voted to call for a $69 million bond election to be held on May 6, 2023. The proposed projects will be presented to voters as three separate propositions, as required by state law.

WHY NOW?

Brock ISD is the fastest growing school district in Parker County over the last five years and experts project that enrollment will continue to climb.

Construction costs increase 8-12% each year due to market inflation. This bond could save taxpayers millions in construction cost escalation by addressing these needs today.

After the failed election last fall, Brock ISD leadership sought community feedback to evaluate the bond proposal. A committee made up of Brock citizens, parents and staff members studied the feedback and the proposal, along with the district’s budget, and determined the same needs exist. They developed a plan for increased communication and additional voter education to meet community feedback.

WHAT IS A TAX CEILING?

It is a limit on the amount of taxes you must pay on your residence. If you qualify your home for an age 65 or older homestead exemption for school taxes, the school taxes on that home cannot increase as long as you own and live in that home. The tax ceiling is the amount you pay in the year that you qualified for the age 65 or older exemption. The school taxes on your home may go below the ceiling but not above the amount of the ceiling.

WHAT IF MY HOME VALUE GOES UP, WILL MY TAXES INCREASE?

The appraised value can change and the tax rate will change, but the school taxes on your homestead cannot increase. Normal repairs, maintenance and the economic impact of the market cannot increase the amount of school taxes you will pay once a tax ceiling is in place on that homestead. Therefore, if this bond election is successful, it will not have an impact on school taxes for homesteads that are receiving the age 65 or older exemption, unless you make significant improvements to your home.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT TO YOUR HOME? A significant improvement would be, for example, if you build a swimming pool or add on a garage or

No, you need to complete an application. Contact the Parker County Appraisal District at 817-596-0077 or visit www.parkercad.com for an application.

If you qualify for an age 65 and older homestead exemption, you may apply to the appraisal district up to one year after the date you turn 65 or up to one year after the taxes are due, whichever is later.

If your application is approved, you will receive the exemption for the entire year in which you turn 65 and for subsequent years as long as you own a qualified homestead.

THE BROCK ISD TAX RATE WILL NOT CHANGE AS A RESULT OF THIS BOND ELECTION

No. If you have an age 65 or older homestead exemption on your home, you do not need to reapply each year. However, if you haven’t received an age 65 or older exemption on your present home—or if you’ve moved to a new home—you’ll need to file for an exemption. If you are 65 this year, you may file for the age 65 or older exemption up to one year after the date you turned 65.

The overall tax rate is expected to remain the same whether this bond passes or fails. However, a new state law requires every Texas school bond ballot to include this language: “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.” Voters will see that wording on their ballot for each bond proposition, but the Brock ISD overall tax rate is not expected to increase as a result of this election.

Brock ISD’s current total tax rate is $1.3903 per $100 of property value, and the rate is expected to remain at $1.3903 following the election.

Brock ISD sought community feedback to evaluate the failed November 2022 bond referendum. The projects included in the 2023 bond proposal were recommended by a committee of citizens who studied community priorities and input. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to accept their recommendation and called a $69 million bond election for May 6, 2023.

If you have a kindergartener today, by the time they are preparing to go to high school, Elgin ISD enrollment is projected to at least double. In fact, it could triple.

The 2024 Elgin ISD Bond Proposal would address this growth by building new schools, renovating for additional capacity and upgrading and repairing aging facilities.

Projected

Due to Elgin ISD’s growth and conservative fiscal approach, there will be NO Elgin ISD I&S tax rate increase if voters approve the bond propositions on the May 2024 ballot.

How is this possible?

When the tax base grows, like it has in Elgin ISD, the same tax rate produces more dollars.

This allows the district to keep the I&S rate the same when issuing new bonds.

QUICK FACTS

Ballot Information The 2024 Elgin ISD Bond will appear on the ballot as two separate propositions.

Voters should cast a vote on each proposition separately.

By law, each proposition must include this statement: “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE” regardless of the district’s ability to fund the debt at the same I&S rate. The I&S Tax Rate will stay the same if this bond passes or fails.

TAX IMPACT The district’s tax rate will not increase as a result of this bond election.

Dear Elgin Independent School District Community,

• Athletic Improvements

Another school year has almost wrapped up in Elgin ISD! Nothing makes me more hopeful for our future than visiting our kindergarten classrooms as they prepare to enter first grade. As an educator, witnessing the remarkable personal and academic growth of students from the beginning to the end of the school year is truly gratifying. They grow so much in their early years.

And, by the time our current Kindergartners in Elgin ISD are about to enter high school, Elgin ISD enrollment is projected to double and could possibly triple.

• New Buses

Currently, our student enrollment in Elgin is approaching 5,800, with third-party demographers anticipating an increase to over 15,000 by 2032. As we plan for the future of Elgin ISD, it is important that we are prepared to continue providing high-quality instruction to our growing student population while increasing the educational opportunities we offer.

Therefore, as a school district, we must proactively assess how we serve our students and families both presently and, in the years to come.

That is why I am writing to provide information about the upcoming May 4 Elgin ISD bond election.

within our district. The primary focus of this bond is addressing our growth by constructing a new elementary school and middle school, as well as expanding Elgin High School’s capacity. These new facilities and upgrades will not only accommodate our current students but also provide space for our increasing enrollment.

In addition to addressing growth, Proposition A of Bond 2024 includes projects prioritizing the safety and security of our students and staff, as well as addressing necessary maintenance and facility upgrades across all Elgin ISD campuses. Proposition A also provides for phase two of the Transportation Building, the purchase of new buses, land acquisition for future growth, and upgrades to facilities for our softball, baseball, and tennis programs.

Proposition B of Bond 2024 extends beyond physical infrastructure to expand educational opportunities for our students. By renovating the existing press box at Wildcat Stadium, we will create additional classroom space for career and technology

education and audio/video academic programming, which will increase career-oriented academic programs for our students. It is important to note Proposition B is not just about football and Friday night lights.

Last year, there were over 70 events held at Wildcat Stadium, which provide students with unique and innovative learning opportunities, and we aim to expand educational offerings through the resources that would be provided through Prop B. In fact, over 600, or 1 out of every 4 students at the middle and high school levels would have expanded educational opportunities through Proposition B.

Softball, Baseball, and Tennis upgrades

I encourage you to learn more about Bond 2024 and its impact on our district by visiting elginisdbond.org. Please remember to cast your vote during the upcoming May election. Early voting begins on April 22 and continues through April 30, with Election Day on Saturday, May 4.

Over CAPPED Dollar Amount

I would like to take a moment to address the district’s tax rate. If approved by voters, both bond propositions would be funded without any increase in the Elgin ISD property tax rate. Elgin ISD can achieve this due to the growth in our tax base and our responsible management of taxpayer resources over the last several years. In fact, Elgin ISD’s overall tax rate has decreased by over 31 cents since 2019, and our district holds the highest school district financial rating given by the state of Texas.

GROWTH OF THE GEORGETOWN FAMILY According to a recent demographic study, GISD is anticipated to grow by 6,000 students in the next decade. In this same time period, GISD’s student enrollment is projected to be almost double what it was in 2021. The US Census listed Georgetown as the fastest growing city with a population of 50,000+ in the nation. GISD has already purchased land and designed four schools through the district’s long-range plan to address this significant growth.

The state has lowered school operating taxes, and voters have approved a $100,000 homestead exemption. This will mean hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings for taxpayers.

A $100,000 home in 2019 actually experienced a decrease of $600 in school taxes in 2023. This bond will require $1.42 of those savings – or nothing using the exemption. and the bond will only cost them about a dollar a year.

SSISD Homeowners 65+ have a School Property Tax Ceiling and are Eligible for a $116,000 Homestead Exemption

OVER 65 HOMEOWNERS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is a tax ceiling?

It is a limit on the amount of taxes you must pay on your residence. The tax ceiling is the amount you pay in the year that you qualified for the age 65 or older exemption. The school taxes on your home may go below the ceiling but not above the amount of the ceiling.

How does the Homestead Exemption decrease my taxes?

SSISD homeowners ages 65 and older are eligible for a $116,000 homestead exemption. The exemption amount is subtracted from the market value of your residence, and the taxes are calculated on that “lower value.” This decreases your tax burden by lowering the total amount due.

For example, a home valued at $300,000 would only pay taxes on $184,000 ($300,000 - $116,000 = $184,000).

As a second example, if your home is valued at $116,000 or less, you will owe $0 in property taxes.

What will the tax impact be for SSISD homeowners like my kids or other relatives?

Based on taxable assessed values and paying off prior debt early, SSISD can issue these bonds by increasing the tax rate by .0025 cents, or ¼ of a penny, per $100 of valuation. For a home with a value of $150,000, this amounts to $1.25 per year.

Where can I apply or check my homestead status?

Contact the Hopkins County Appraisal District at 903-885-2173 or visit hopkinscad.com.
