McAllen ISD deputy superintendent reports tax collections ahead of last year for Jan'Mar 2025
Summary
Deputy Superintendent Loretta Garcia told the McAllen ISD board on April 22 that January through March tax collections were tracking ahead of the prior year, with the district's original levy reported at about $89 million; some numeric details in the meeting record were unclear.
Ms. Loretta Garcia, deputy superintendent for business and operations, reported to the McAllen Independent School District Board of Trustees on April 22 that tax collections for January through March 2025 are tracking ahead of last year.
"The original levy is, 89,000,000 approximately," Garcia said during the presentation of three monthly tax reports collected by the Hidalgo County Tax Office on behalf of the district. She summarized collections for January, February and March and said the district was ahead of prior-year collections on delinquent taxes as well.
Garcia told trustees that January collections equaled about 74.7, representing roughly 83.44% of the levy and that the district remained "exactly where it was last year." She said February collections showed an increase and that delinquent-tax collections also were ahead of the prior year. For March she reported a higher percentage of the levy collected and again said delinquent collections were up.
Some numeric details in the meeting record were unclear in the audio/transcript (for example a dollar figure read back in the record for March appears garbled). The board's record does not show any action on the tax report; the item was listed "for information purposes only." Garcia concluded the report and invited questions; none were recorded in the public minutes.
The report was presented as agenda item 6C1 and the board did not take formal action on the figures.
Clarifying details available in the record include an approximate original levy and the board-level summary that collections and delinquent collections through March were ahead of the prior year, but the meeting transcript contains several numerical readbacks that appear unclear; the district's official monthly tax report should be consulted for precise dollar amounts.
