Seguin ISD says preliminary Nov. 3 election results approved Proposition A. In its Nov. 4 announcement, the district described the result as preliminary. The official election record is the next place to verify the final result.
The district estimates Proposition A will add about $2.4 million a year for operations, employee compensation, campus safety and student programs. That is a projected annual funding increase, not a final accounting of money received or a district budget allocating it among those uses.
From the source record
The total includes the two funding components; amounts are approximate district estimates.
Where the funding would come from
Seguin ISD estimates about $950,000 in additional annual local tax revenue and about $1.5 million in state funding. Those approximate components explain the district's roughly $2.4 million annual estimate; they are not separate amounts to add to that total. The district says its total tax rate would remain $1.0828 per $100 of taxable value.
The district's Proposition A information describes a 2.8% increase in maintenance-and-operations revenue over the preceding year, or $942,852, in the ballot language. That ballot figure describes the proposed local revenue increase against a prior-year baseline; it is not the district's estimate of combined local and state funding. The district describes Proposition A as a voter-approval tax-rate election, rather than a bond proposal.
What comes next
Seguin ISD says it will continue reducing its budget deficit. Its announcement names intended uses for the additional funding, while future district budget records will show how much is assigned to each purpose. Readers can inspect the district's Nov. 4 announcement for its preliminary result and funding estimates, then compare those figures with the official election canvass and subsequent budget actions.
