The Bells ISD Board of Trustees voted Aug. 11 to post a proposed combined tax rate of $1.13630 for the 2025–2026 school year.
The proposed rate breaks down to $0.75520 per $100 for maintenance and operations and $0.38110 per $100 for interest and sinking. The posting was approved by voice vote after a motion by Jeremy Moore and a second from Stephanie Nettles; the minutes record the motion as passing unanimously, 6-0. The vote starts the district’s required public-notice and hearing timeline prior to any final tax-rate adoption.
The board packet and agenda referenced the district budget process and scheduled Budget Workshop #3 for further review of revenues and expenditures. No public hearing on the tax rate is recorded in the minutes for this meeting; the posting is a procedural step that enables later adoption after required notices and hearings.
