The Jourdanton Independent School District Board of Trustees voted on Aug. 30 to adopt a property tax rate of $1.0659 for 2025–26, which the minutes record as effectively a 3.73 percent increase in the tax rate. Trustee Kendall Schorsch moved the tax-rate motion and Trustee Mike Castellano seconded; the motion passed 4–0 with three trustees absent.
The minutes show the vote tally as: Mike Castellano — yea; Barbara Peeler — yea; Nicole Rakowitz — yea; Kendall Schorsch — yea; Vance Jupe — absent; Phillip Netardus — absent; Greg Vyvlecka — absent. The motion text in the minutes reads: "I move that the property tax rate be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of $1.0659, which is effectively a 3.73 percent increase in the tax rate." The record does not include a breakdown showing how the rate translates into specific taxpayer bills or the dollar impact on district revenue.
The tax-rate adoption follows the CFO's presentation of the proposed budget and tax rate earlier in the agenda. The minutes do not document public comment or a detailed staff spreadsheet in the motion text; those materials may exist separately in the district's budget packet.
