Boost Of Valuations Adds To School Fund
The Goose Creek Independent School District faces a rise in tax valuations estimated at 36,000,600 bol in district tax valuations could add up to 84,000 to school and college tax revenue this year. Tax assessor-collector George Bennett reports valuations will exceed 102,000,008 this year, up from 96,000,600 last year. With a tax rate near 1.29 this could raise about 77,460 next year, and a rate hike to about 1.40 may fund a 500,000 school bond. A 1.40 rate would yield 1,275,000 for the school district and 153,900 for Lee College, totaling 1,428,000. Last year district taxes were 728,000. Delinquency stood at 27,000 of the total as of August 1, with forecasts aiming for 95 percent collection in budgets.
