Potential New Bond or Tax Hike Discussion
📅 September 29, 2026
The council is reviewing an update on a potential Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) and new bond package. This is often the first step before the district asks voters to approve higher property taxes and take on millions in new debt.
Response

MONITOR CLOSELY: This is a discussion, not a vote, but it’s where future tax hikes begin. Contact the SAISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask for the ‘VATRE/Bond Update’ presentation materials to be posted publicly before the meeting.
