Northside ISD taxpayers will head to the polls Saturday to vote on a nearly $1 billion bond proposal that will mostly go to improving and renovating existing schools in the district. proposal that will improve and renovate existing schools in the district.
“I would want folks to understand the proposal itself is 95 percent about investing in schools that are 40 years old or older,” Woods said. “The growth here really dominated what we were able to do with the funds our patrons approved. Now, we’re really prioritizing going back to those 40-, 50-, 60-plus-year-old schools and bring them up to a standard similar to what we’ve built in the last 20 years.
But before voters decide the proposed bond’s fate, Woods wanted to clear up misconceptions about some of the language on the ballot, especially when it comes to the tax rate. The language on the ballot has led to confusion. Woods said the district had not had a tax rate increase in the past 12 years.“What we want to emphasize is there will be no tax rate increase as a result of a potential passage of this bond. We don’t control appraised values. That’s a separate entity. No school district in the state controls appraised values. What we do control is that tax rate, and we can promise it will not increase as a result of this proposal,” Woods said.
