Summary
At a July 27 special meeting, the Bastrop Independent School District Board of Trustees discussed a possible voter-approval tax rate election (VATRE) but took no vote, deferring further consideration and any possible action to the board's rescheduled Aug. 13 meeting.
The Board of Trustees of the Bastrop Independent School District discussed a possible voter-approval tax rate election (VATRE) during a special called meeting on July 27, 2026, but did not take formal action. The minutes state: "There will be no closed session tonight so we can move to Item 3A, Conduct Discussion Regarding possible Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE)." The meeting began at 5:30 p.m. and adjourned at 6:26 p.m.
The record does not include specific proposed tax rates, revenue estimates, or a staff recommendation. According to the minutes, trustees agreed to postpone any decision and to continue discussion at the board's next scheduled meeting, which was rescheduled for Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026. The document also notes compliance-related items, including a reference to SB 413's requirement that official minutes record votes and be posted within seven days; the minutes were posted July 28, 2026.
