What Will I See On My Ballot?

 

Proposition A

CLEAR CREEK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT - PROPOSITION A

▢ For

▢ Against

RATIFYING THE AD VALOREM TAX RATE OF $0.9746 PER $100 VALUATION IN CLEAR CREEK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, A RATE THAT WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF -19.87 PERCENT IN MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TAX REVENUE FOR THE DISTRICT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AS COMPARED TO THE PRECEDING YEAR, WHICH IS AN ADDITIONAL $ -50,585,883.

A few things to note:

  • The tax rate listed $0.9746 is a decrease of 14 cents from last year’s rate of $1.1146

  • Legal language of the ballot requires the wording ‘will result in an increase’ however in this case, it is in fact a 19.87% decrease

  • If approved, Clear Creek ISD would receive $17.5 million in revenue for day-to-day operations

 

Proposition B

CLEAR CREEK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT - PROPOSITION B

▢ For

▢ Against

THE ISSUANCE OF $265,000,000 SCHOOL BUILDING BONDS BY CLEAR CREEK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, ACQUISITION, REHABILITATION, RENOVATION, EXPANSION, IMPROVEMENT AND EQUIPMENT OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS IN THE DISTRICT, THE PURCHASE OF NECESSARY SITES FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND NEW SCHOOL BUSES AND THE IMPOSITION OF TAXES SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE BONDS. THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

THE ISSUANCE OF $37,000,000 SCHOOL BUILDING BONDS BY CLEAR CREEK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS AND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND THE IMPOSITION OF TAXES SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE BONDS. THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

A few things to note:

  • "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE" on each bond proposition although the Interest & Sinking (debt portion) of CCISD’s tax rate remains unchanged at $0.27 and it is not anticipated to increase if both propositions are approved.

  • This language is a state requirement regardless of the bond's impact on the district's tax rate.

  • Devices and technology upgrades outlined in Proposition C are required to be on a standalone proposition.

    • This is a new state requirement.
