*Note: This is not the language that will be on the ballot. Rather this is a description of the proposition that Alamo Community College District residents will be voting on.
EAST CENTRAL ISD PROPOSITION
At its February 11, 2025, meeting, the East Central Independent School District (ECISD) Board of Trustees approved a bond election to be held on May 3, 2025. The bond proposal addresses rapid enrollment growth and ensures students access safe, modern learning environments.
The tax rate associated with this bond would not take effect until 2027. When implemented, homeowners with a $280,000 home (with the Homestead Exemption applied) would see an estimated tax increase of $13 per month ($157 annually).
In terms of exemptions, homeowners with the Over-65 Homestead Exemption will not experience a tax increase unless significant home improvements are made. Additionally, Disabled Veterans who qualify at 100% will not see any increase. Residents who currently pay no school taxes due to tax compression and the homestead exemption will not see a tax increase from the proposed bond.
The following bond proposition, not the exact language that will appear on the ballot, will appear in the May 3, 2025 election ballot:
