We have 12 grades PLUS kindergarten. I propose cutting out the two or three least productive grades and lowering taxes on the hard-working citizens of Alamo Heights. The time to take a stand against the big government, tax-and-spend liberals at the AHISD is NOW.
From the Express-News:
The Alamo Heights Independent School District has proposed a property tax rate increase of 3 cents to cover the district's bond debt.
If approved, the portion of district's tax rate that pays for school debt would increase from 12.8 cents to 15.8 cents per $100 of home value, said Mike Hagar, the district's assistant superintendent of business and finance. The district's total tax rate would be $1.198 and the average homeowner would pay $119.75 more annually if the increase is approved.
Hagar said property values in the area have decreased in the past two years, a trend the district did not anticipate during its 2010 bond election.
The district will hold a meeting to discuss its proposed budget and tax rate Aug. 25.
