ECISD public meeting set on two-cent tax hike

ECISD trustees authorize a public meeting to discuss a proposed tax rate increase of two cents per $100 valuation. The hike would raise about $97.62 annually for the average $69,220 home, while higher valuations reduce state funding and debt costs. District officials argue the rise covers a $700,000 funding gap.

Should ECISD Raise Tax Rates to Offset State Funding Loss

A reader argues against boosting ECISD tax rates to cover lost state funding. They note higher home values and rising unemployment while test scores and AYP results falter, urging belt-tightening, parental involvement, and a tax cut rather than further tax increases. They question efficiency and demand focus on student outcomes.
