Seguin ISD Board Certifies Tax Ratification Election, Adopts $1.1028 Rate
Summary
The Seguin ISD Board approved a resolution canvassing returns of the Nov. 5, 2024 Voter Approval Tax Rate Election and adopted a total tax rate of $1.1028 to access TEA "golden pennies." The motion passed unanimously among members voting.
Trustee Alejandro R. Guerra, a member of the Seguin ISD Board of Trustees, called the special meeting to order Nov. 19 and the Board immediately took up action to canvass a Voter Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) held Nov. 5, 2024.
Trustee Linda Duncan moved and Trustee Denise Crettenden seconded a resolution to canvass the returns and declare the results of the VATRE, an action the Board said was required to access all "golden pennies" offered by the Texas Education Agency. The Board noted it had ordered the election on Aug. 14, 2024. The resolution adopts the district's previously adopted total tax rate of $1.1028.
The motion passed with ayes from Trustees Bright, Crettenden, Duncan, Guerra and Mueller; no nays were recorded. The minutes record the Board's action as the formal canvass and declaration of results required under state law.
The approval allows Seguin ISD to proceed administratively with the adopted tax rate and related budget actions tied to the VATRE outcome. No public speakers addressed the Board on this item during the meeting.
