The Cedar Hill ISD Board of Trustees adopted a 2025–26 tax rate of $1.1279 during the meeting. Trustee Ramona Ross Bacon moved the tax-rate motion; Trustee Carmel Morgan seconded the motion and trustees voted unanimously in favor.
Administration told trustees earlier in the meeting that the tax rate itself was not changing after the district received TEA compressed-rate calculations and updated property values; staff said the rate reflected current calculations and stated the composition as 78 cents for maintenance and operations (M&O) and 34 cents for interest and sinking (I&S), which together produce the advertised $1.1279 rate. Staff also noted the rate includes 17 cents related to a voter‑approved item from February 2023 (described in the presentation).
The motion as read contained standard statutory language required for tax-rate adoption and the mover stated the numeric rate and an effective percentage change in the motion record. Trustees approved the rate unanimously; administration said no additional action was required at the meeting and will continue to provide required public notices and documentation for tax-rate implementation.
Action: Motion to adopt a tax rate of $1.1279 moved by Trustee Ramona Ross Bacon; seconded by Trustee Carmel Morgan; vote recorded as unanimous.
