MISD Tax Rate Among the Lowest in the Houston Area
MISD has been fiscally responsible with taxpayer dollars by approving balanced budgets each year and only spending what we have budgeted. This means MISD has not been operating with a deficit. Unfortunately, it also means the district is falling behind its competitors when it comes to staff salaries.
The VATRE is a tool the state gives school districts to ask our taxpayers for additional funds for a specific purpose–this would be for employee raises and safety and security. If the voters approve the VATRE, this would be a one-time election that would give the district additional funds year after year, meeting the needs of the district, which include being competitive with teacher and employee pay. The VATRE would increase the tax rate by 3 pennies to $0.9895 which is one of the lowest tax rates in the greater Houston area.
