Bartlett I.S.D. adopts 2025–26 tax rates after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing on the proposed 2025–26 tax rate, the Bartlett I.S.D. Board adopted an Interest & Sinking rate of $0.50000 and a Maintenance & Operations rate of $0.66040, each passed 6–0.
The Bartlett I.S.D. Board of Trustees opened a public hearing on Sept. 15 to discuss the proposed tax rate for the 2025–26 school year based on certified values and the Texas Education Agency’s maximum compressed tax rate. A quorum of six trustees heard public input and staff explanation before formal action later in the meeting.
Trustee Tammie Hunt moved to adopt an Interest & Sinking (I&S) fund tax rate of $0.50000 for 2025–26; Trustee Stephanie Martinka seconded, and the motion passed 6–0. Trustee Pablo Solorio then moved to adopt a Maintenance & Operations (M&O) tax rate of $0.66040 for 2025–26; Trustee Sheri Braun seconded and the motion passed 6–0. The board’s actions followed the hearing and were recorded as unanimous among trustees present (one member absent).
The board framed the vote as a formal step following the hearing required under TEA rules; the transcript references the TEA maximum compressed tax rate (MCR) as the basis for discussion. There were no amendments to the tax rates recorded in the minutes. The board set its next regular meeting for Oct. 20, 2025, where any follow-up or public inquiries may be revisited.
