🏫 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

Important Fact: Fentanyl poisoning is now the leading cause of death for individuals ages 18 to 45 in the U.S. This alarming trend highlights the urgent need for increased awareness and preventive measures. #FentanylAwareness #SaveLives

❓Would a 4-Day School Week Fix the Budget Shortfall? **No, a 4-day school week would not resolve our budget shortfall.** For our district, a significant **75.9% of overall expenditures** were for payroll in fiscal year 2023. Most districts that implement a 4-day school week do so as an incentive to attract and retain staff. Importantly, these districts **do not reduce employee salaries**. Instead, staff members work longer hours during the shortened week, and students attend school for extended hours to meet the state’s required number of minutes for the school year. A 4-day week may improve work-life balance, but it won't solve the underlying financial challenges we face. 💛🖤 #VegaISD #BudgetTransparency #SupportOurSchools #CommunityMatters
