🏫 Will the VATRE Fund the New Part of the School? **No, if approved, the VATRE will not pay for the new part of the school.** The VATRE represents a **12-cent increase to the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) tax rate**, but M&O funds **cannot** be used for construction projects. - Even with the increase, it would still be the **third lowest overall tax rate in the past 10 years** and the **second lowest M&O rate in the past 20 years**. - M&O funds are specifically allocated to support the **maintenance and operation** of the school district, including programs and staff salaries. The **Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rate** is what provides the funds to pay off the debt for the bond used to build the new part of the school, and the VATRE outcome has **no impact** on the I&S tax rate. If the VATRE is approved, the funds generated will be used for the District’s maintenance and operations, which include educational programs, faculty, and staffing. 💛🖤 #VegaISD #VATRE #SupportOurSchools #CommunityMatters
