The Abbott ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Aug. 25, 2025, to set the district's tax rates for the 2025–26 school year, approving a Maintenance and Operations (M&O) rate of $0.66930 per $100 of taxable value and an Interest and Sinking (I&S) rate of $0.40733 per $100, for a total tax rate of $1.07663 per $100.
According to the minutes, "approving the resolution as presented, thereby adopting a Maintenance and Operations (M&O) tax rate of $0.66930/$100 for the 2025-2026 school year," was moved by Trustee Lauren Wolf and seconded by Trustee Craig Sustala; that motion "passed unanimously 5—6." The I&S rate resolution and the combined total-rate resolution likewise passed 5—6, with the total-rate motion moved by Wolf and seconded by Secretary Blake Kettler.
The tax-rate items appeared on the agenda under "Consider setting a tax rate for the 2025-2026 school year," which noted the board would "discuss property values and any funding lags" and invited public input; the minutes record no comments from visitors. The board adopted the rates as formal resolutions during the meeting and recorded the unanimous votes in the minutes.
Next steps normally include publication of the adopted rates per state notice requirements and application of those rates to the district's 2025—626 budget and tax rolls; the minutes do not record additional implementation details or further action at this meeting.
