Mission CISD announces Nov. 7 tax ratification election; tax rate to remain $1.11
Summary
Mission CISD announced that a voter tax ratification election (referred to in the announcement as "VADER") will appear on the Nov. 7 ballot; the district said the $1.11 total tax rate will not increase and the measure is expected to yield about $2.7 million a year for curriculum and staff pay.
A staff member for Mission Consolidated Independent School District said a voter-approved tax ratification election, referred to in the announcement as "VADER," will be on the ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
The staff member said the district's total tax rate of $1.11 "will not increase," regardless of the election outcome. "The VADER will generate approximately $2,700,000 annually in state funds that can be used to improve curriculum programs and staff compensation," the staff member said.
The announcement did not provide the exact ballot language or specify the year referenced beyond the Nov. 7 election date. The staff member identified the projected revenue figure as approximate.
If approved by voters, the district indicated the revenue would be used for curriculum improvements and to support staff compensation; no additional program details, timelines, or specific spending allocations were provided in the announcement.
The district did not report the outcome of the vote in this announcement. The Nov. 7 election date was given; further details about the ballot proposition and any subsequent board actions were not specified in the transcript.
