The Victoria ISD Board approved a combined tax rate of 0.9180 per $100 of taxable value at the district's special meeting, a rate the district presented as necessary to cover new bond debt obligations from an earlier bond election.
During discussion, a trustee explained the M&O rate is set by the Texas Education Agency's formulas; the I&S portion was described as the component that funds bond payments. The board's motion set the tax rate at 0.9180; the motion was seconded and carried on a 5'00 vote.
Public commenters raised concerns about rising property appraisals and the tax burden on homeowners. Staff reiterated that increased tax revenue here is tied to servicing recently approved bond debt, and that operating revenue is constrained by state formula rules.
